VTT N55 updates, New product announcments

[Tony@VargasTurboTech]

Hello N55 owners! Just wanted to start a new thread to update you guys on what we have been working on for the N55 front the past few months. To start off we now have 11 of our Dual Ball Bearing GTX3076 N55 upgrades shipped around the world including 1 in China, 1 in Brazil, 2 in Western Australia, 1 in Dubai, 1 in Argentina, 2 in California, 1 in Vegas, 1 in Florida, and 1 in PA. N55 turbo fever has spread around the world..

Next we would like to announce a couple exciting new options for people who like the idea of an upgraded N55 turbo, but may not have an extra $4K laying around for a top of the line Ball Bearing solution.

Our first option will be a Stage 1 style N55 upgrade consisting of an upgraded billet compressor wheel, and a clipped turbine. This turbo upgrade will sell for $899 with the stock DV, and $1249 with our custom billet DV and corresponding install kit. We personally think the stage 1 option for the N55 is the worst bang for your buck in terms of the amount of power potential you are getting for your money, but if you want 20-40 extra WHP near the top of the rev band this upgrade will provide that for you at a very affordable price.

Or next option and one we think will interest a lot of people will be our Stage 2 journal bearing upgrade. Same awesome wheel combination that has proven to work amazingly well in testing, the GTX3076, but in journal bearing configuration using the existing Borg Warner center section. This turbo upgrade will sell for $2499 with stock DV and $2799 with our custom billet DV and corresponding install kit. This upgrade will provide the same performance as our DBB stage 2, but will give up the robust longevity of the DBB CHRA, and lose a little in terms of spool, and transient response, as a JB offering simply cannot touch a DBB CHRA in those areas.

We are also offering our Custom Billet DV upgrade kit for your existing N55 stock turbo to get rid of the stock plastic DV's that are prone to a cracking diaphragm which cause sticking, and leaking. This will include our billet DV, plug and play wiring harness, 3 port solenoid, and vacuum tubing needed to complete the install. This DV upgrade will sell for $349

Many different platform use the identical style DV as the N55 and forge has shown they are very prone to above mentioned cracking, and leaking.

Here is a link to their Mini Cooper kit showing a cracked diaphragm.

As far as shipping times. We are about 60-90 days from being able to ship limited quantities of Stage 1, and 90-150 days from shipping our Stage 2 JB upgrades. We will also have roughly 7 Stage 2 DBB upgrades back in stock in 60-90 days as well. We will be opening up a waiting list for people who want to get in on the limited quantities of the upgrades. First come first serve to hold a spot.

Thank you in advance for any inquiries, please direct any and all questions to Sales@vargasturbo.com and we will explain all details do not send PM's here. A small non-refundable deposit will apply strictly to keep people from holding a spot and decided they do want the upgrade down the line.

Thanks! VTT Team
