Guys, no hate or offense meant. Just simply saying that there is alot more than meets the eye to accomplish the stage 2 type of upgrade. Anyone is capable, but only until you actually meet the design dead ends along the way can you realize how odd it really is. Sorry this has been taken way out of context, but what I state is fact. Nothing wrong with competition whatsoever, and if someone can build this option for a final sale price of sub $2000 I truly commend them.

I am really not quite sure why everyone thinks "N54" turbos are magic or an RB hybrid turbo is some new technology that rob came up with, while wearing safety google and using smoking beakers. Bottom line is this has ALL been done before but it seems like this community really only has a few options when it comes to turbos which is WHY I decided to make some products for this community. It has been stated I am not doing this to make huge profits from these turbos. I am doing this by keeping my prices (and profits) very low so more people can afford to go fast. I do agree with you that the products will speak for themselves. But the words "the community will eat you alive" are semi humorous. I have a lot more going on than this community and if decided to stop my N54 efforts today it wouldn't effect my business in the slightest. I am here to help with quality products people can afford and its funny I am getting trash talk thrown at me for it. Lets all just relax and see what happens.

Agree. Develop the product. Test it out. Offer up for sale. |

Bottom line is that this is EXCELLENT news for the platform and I cannot wait to follow the development process and see (perhaps purchase) the end products. I for one, will be watching from the other forum, where there is actual SUPPORT and technical discussion rather than this bullshit banter. |

I think it's great Tony is stepping up to the plate. I also think it's too late for the N54 market now that FFTEC/Vishnu have the single turbo kit. I understand a few people still think it's too much money and still have hopes of a twin upgrade that can provide 600 whp, but honestly I feel Tony and Rob should focus on the N55 market and provide an upgrade to bring the N55 back into the game. I know it's hard for most people to understand the difference a big single offers over the upgraded twins, but I've been in two different single upgrade cars and I can tell you first hand that 500 ftlbs to redline and an extra 150 rwhp at 7000 rpm is playing in a whole new dimension... it's stupid fast. Good luck Tony... Good competition drives R&D and we all like new options and new toys, and I'm sure the N55 community would love to see some new R&D as well.

You should see another N54 forum. It is full of personal insult and hate and also very biased. I haven't seen hate in e90post for a long time.

If 550-600whp on meth is possible at half the cost of a single kit I'm all for it

Your hating right now. As for not seeing anything on here its because every valuable member that knows any technical stuff about this platform is pretty much banned if they do not fully support procede or have questions of how things are being done and what not. Been on here long enough to know/see this. Anyway i think its great vargas came on here the more competition the merrier for us.

sticking to facts and technical stuff is great if everyone can come to some sort of conclusion as to what is to be accepted as fact. but for some folks that's impossible...due to ulterior motives or personal dislike for individuals for whatever reason. and that's when they get banned. it's one thing to have technical discussion...but another thing to continue useless banter just for the sake of arguing.

Lets keep this civil, no need to throw all this negativity in any direction. Just give the new guy a chance before scaring them away. There may be a few guys who are apprehensive but the majority of the community would love for this to happen and I have a handful of friends/customers who'd give these a shot in a minute. |
