I have $4K to spend....

Chitown335i · 02-25-2015, 05:56 PM

I have 4K to spend. I need some help in what route to go.

Option 1- Sell my Vargas Stage 1's- hoping to get 2K or close to it. and put that towards either Vargas Stage 2+ or RB turbos. Which one if I went with this option. This is only an option if I can sell my stage 1's....

Options 2- Keep the Stage 1's...get inlets...get meth kit....get Steves stage 2 so I can go 100% E85.....or keep his inline that I have and get Vargas shotgun HPFP that way I don't have to worry about the HPFP going out

Option 3- Any ideas that will make my car faster.

mike@x-ph.com · 02-25-2015, 05:57 PM

stage 2

CHECKERED · 02-25-2015, 06:04 PM

Option 2

Give_Em_The_DD · 02-25-2015, 06:21 PM

Don't see anyone paying around 2k for Vargas stage 1s....

Used RBs go anywhere from 15-2500...

I can't see anyone paying near 2k for basically an oem replacement

Shit I just saw Alen@motiv sell his Vtt stage 2s for $700 lol

PR3CI5N · 02-25-2015, 07:07 PM

If you're already FBO then spend that $4k on Pure Stage 2 N54 turbos which will be available very soon. That's if you want around 600whp

Yeah stage 2s...

I'm sure he could have yes lol

Used isn't an awful option, especially with how cost effective a rebuild is ($250-300). And you can always have your turbos decked out at the same time if u cover the difference.
