I highly, highly doubt tony has never seen a stage 2 turbo leak, especially after yours is also leaking.

Have you been able to see if it's your front or rear turbo?

Well thats shitty for the OP.. All of the turbo manufacturers I've spoken with highly advised against me rebuilding mine because apparently rebuilt turbos are never as sturdy as new ones, but aren't all the aftermarkets made with rebuilt CHRA's...???

Yea it sucks but he said everything was new on the rebuild except the compressor housing. But I have no clue

Sorry to hear about your turbos. I hope that you get it resolved. I want nothing to do with that dude if he handles his business like he handles the shit that he posts. I think that he truly has problems.

Its a slow day today and I would love to see what happens with Tony and Rob and all the fanboys over there.

Also, RB may come out and give you a free set with the way he likes to stick it to VTT

+1 I've seen some unprofessional things said by business owners, but never as bad as Tony. Its sad he is known to have horrible customer service and acts like a child on the internet. Why would anyone want a product from this company.

I hope no one purchases anything from Vargas. Tony needs to learn how to be professional and handle a situation for a CUSTOMER. What kinda of person is okay telling a customer that it will be a few months to get their turbos. what kind of reply is that. There is something wrong with Tony. He needs to help. Few months LOL yeah let me just keep my car at a shop for a few months while i wait for the turbos.

I love how quickly Tony covers up problems like these. On BB he got Sticky to move it to vendor reviews and later was able to get him to close the thread. I really wonder how common this is for him. This is the 7th I've read about since late August.

It's almost comical when Tony says he hasn't had any other smoking stage 2's. I think he meant that particular day...

Wow this guy's bad reputation goes back quite a bit and people still don't learn.

Unbelievable how many guys dislike him and his product but are stil willing to send him large payments.

Looks like he's finished with his forum sales
