If there's another group buy after tax season I'd be interested

So would I.If there's another group buy after tax season I'd be interested ��
Did you buy one for $1499.00?If you did how did you like it?I'd go ahead and pick it up. It's more than worth the $2k asking price and will easily be the best stock replacement turbo on the market, especially in that pricing range.
I didn't get one for the $1499, but I do have one. It's on the car right now, and I absolutely love it.Did you buy one for $1499.00?If you did how did you like it?
What other mods do you have? Also, being that it's a stock modified turbo, do you think it would alter the sound of the stock exhaust?I didn't get one for the $1499, but I do have one. It's on the car right now, and I absolutely love it.
I'm FBO with the VS2TS. It's not a stock modified turbo. I actually don't think it shares anything in common with the stock turbo other than bolting up in the same location. Tony can clarify more on that though.What other mods do you have? Also, being that it's a stock modified turbo, do you think it would alter the sound of the stock exhaust?
Justin are there any benefits upgrading charge pipes?I'm FBO with the VS2TS. It's not a stock modified turbo. I actually don't think it shares anything in common with the stock turbo other than bolting up in the same location. Tony can clarify more on that though.
To elaborate on my setup, I have the following:
Vargas Stage II Twin Scroll turbo
Vargas Silicone Charge Pipes
Vargas Turbosmart Race Port BOV
Levels Performance Street Core FMIC
Tune+ Airaid MIT w/AEM Dry Flow Filter
Tune+ Auxiliary Fueling Kit
CP-e Catless Downpipe
Custom Cat-back w/resonator
Denso ITV24 Plugs
Some suspension goodies
I see, I thought the Vargas turbos were just stock EcoBoost turbo housings with modified goodies inside.I'm FBO with the VS2TS. It's not a stock modified turbo.

I think so, especially with the silicon pipes. The silicon pipes are resilient against heat soak, much like the factory pipes, and they help to reduce bottlenecks in the system. The factory hot side charge pipe changes diameter several times and the factory cold side can swell under boost pressure. You'll have better throttle response and flow with the Vargas upgrades. I also like having a mechanical valve as opposed to the electronic valve. Both have their benefits, and I won't debate those here, but I love the Race Port for it's response, overall performance, and sound.Justin are there any benefits upgrading charge pipes?
No sir, the VS1 is a modded stocker, but the VS2 is it's own monster!I see, I thought the Vargas turbos were just stock EcoBoost turbo housings with modified goodies inside.
I like your mod path, I'd just want to do that turbo with an intercooler and tune. I like the stealth sound and look.
What are your 1/4 mile times with your mods?I think so, especially with the silicon pipes.

I haven't ran it yet with the new mods. On the old setup, I was running high-7s in the 1/8. There was only one local 1/4 track, which was over an hour away, or 4 1/8 mile tracks within 30-45 minutes. Most of my friends always went to the 1/8 mile events because the 1/4 track was the most horribly prepped race track that I've visited. In any event, I'm going to try to make it to Atlanta on a TnT night and see what I can do down here now.What are your 1/4 mile times with your mods?
