i hope so too, but why does the turbo seals keep leaking and what are the oil issues? I might just have to go with some kind of single lol.

any of you guys think a good single that is good enough to 550 whp will get me my consistent 500whp with just as little lag as the stg 2+ tb and vtt are coming out with?

just the difference in pricing is crazy though lol.

How old are your stage 2's? I just ordered a set of stage 2's (because i have no e85 and not interested in meth so Tony figured stage 2 would be the best for pure pump gas) so I hope he's corrected the issues.

Sadly to say I ordered and installed the stage 2s at the beginning of the year, January. They where good for about 3-4 months before the smoking and oil issue popped up. I was going to have them sent back, while I was in Germany, but I was so close to leaving and I couldn't risk the chance of not having all my stuff together when it was time to leave. Tony has been very helpful with the whole process and they were aware of both issues, so he told me to send them back and they would do the spec 2 upgrade, since I'm still under warranty.

Or am I just missing something here? Is there another site everyone is on talking about all the news?
Not a couple weeks ago, more than six weeks ago 09-05-2014:

And there is still no new shipping date.
