With the RB's now officially sold, I have purchased a set of Vargas Stage 2+ turbos. While the standard VVT stage 2 was the direct competition standard RB's. The boys have now raised the bar somewhat further on trying to extract more power out of stock frame turbos. A lot more info can be found on e90 and bimmerboost forums.
The VVT stage 2+ will be the direct competition for the new improved Super RB's that is scheduled to be realised to the market in November, this is just assumptions at this point and Rob also cannot firm this after a few phone calls.
So what is the VVT Stage 2+
...taken of the bimmerboost site
We are proud to introduce the latest in our line of N54 turbocharger products the VTT Stage 2+ hybrid turbochargers. We take our already robust stage 2 design, and add the highest flowing wheels in the TD04 family to provide the ultimate in N54 stock frame power potential. There is not another stock frame turbo option on the market that can match the power or reliability of our stage 2 turbos. How can we claim this? Lets break down what has become standard in our stage 2 turbos that a lot of people have overlooked.
We are the only N54 stock frame turbo manufacture offering billet wheel choices from 14T all the way up to our newest editions which use the massive 20T wheel
2. Our 9 blade Garrett turbine wheel. This is not a MHI 12 blade wheel thrown into CAD and had 3 blades knocked off it ala the Kamak or Kinugawa 9 blade TDD4 turbines you will find out there being used in other applications. This is THE Garrett GT series turbine used in all the fastest spooling and highest flowing Garrett GT and GTX turbochargers. What we did was simply take the Garrett design and have it shrunk into TD04L dimensions, offering the highest flow, fastest spool, and best aero of any TD04 turbine wheel on the market. Keep in mind we have been using this design since 2012 on all our stage 2's we are not now just jumping on the 9 blade band wagon.
3. To combat the inherent oiling issues these stock frame turbos have been faced with, we went back to the drawing board and after numerous changes we now offer DUAL piston rings in all our of stage 2 turbine wheels, this is similar technology you will see in such turbos are Borg Warner EFR, etc. This extra piston ring provides another barrier to keep exhaust out during those high Back pressure pulls, and in turn keep that oil in, helping improve life even under extreme conditions
4. As you already know each and every stage 2 turbocharger comes with an upgraded TD04 thrust and thrust parts to provide extra oiling and surface area to provide longer life, as the thrust take 90% of the abuse inside a turbocharger
5. The biggest compressor wheel options the TD04 family has to offer, all while retaining your stock bolt in fitment, simply unbolt your stockers or other hybrid turbos, and bolt these in, no modifications require
I'm expecting to do a complete "re-cleansing" of the car.
i.e flushing the cooler / end to end inspection of the met kit and lines / fitting on the KW Variant 3 coil overs / checking all mounts.
the fun starts again....:=):

I've neglected to keep this thread updated, Sorry.
In summary, the following has been done since.
Spec 3+ and new DMFW fitted
new disks and pads
New lpfp from Steve at Fuel- It
JB4 in hand to control the boost
N20 T map sensor
the turbo's are arriving tomorrow but since I'm on holiday I may or may not have it installed in DBN

You know whats going to happen in dbn if you have this fitted there and its December.
Every oke in a car with a turbo is going to pull up and try to dala you.
And in durban, that basically means even a chery QQ qith XXXX-ZN plates and a "custom" turbo.
I was home last week, and I was driving a Getz for the weekend, it has an overdrive button, which i use on hills for some extra kick or it dies.
One ou in a chevy spark wanted to race me.
:YesNo:
Eish, Durban members, whatkind!
