I tried to warn buyers, but VTT was able to remove my post somehow

I been trying to post about this since last year, never had a time to make a long thread. This post mainly to help to make a decision to those who want to purchase VTT turbos. Since the day I have received my turbos, my car has been going back and forth to the shop.

I will make this short. I know this is no news to some of you VTT and their customer service. I fell for those Dyno sheets when VTT GCs first came out and Tony's promises that there are 100s of turbos they have sold in past.
I
First I was told will receive my turbos about 4 weeks after the purchase, 3 months later still haven't had my turbos, so don't fall for promises if you are in rush to get new turbos and your car is in the shop.

After receiving the turbos, they failed approximately about 500-700 miles.

Waited another 6 months to receive the replacements, 2 ND set also failed about the same mileage 700-800 miles. That's when the company admitted on the forum that they had Turbine wheel problems and came out with VTT GC 2.

6-7 months later received 3rd set updated VTT GC 2.0, so far have put 700-800 miles on 3rd set, no problems with turbine wheel, but guess what turbos leaking oil where right by the clamp and yes I changed the gasket for oil Line.

After my first turbos failed I even asked these guys to give me $1800 refund which is about only 30% from $4500 that I paid and just keep the turbos too I don't even want it because I didn't want to deal with this headache in the future. They didn't even wanted to do that.
Before you decide to go with VTT keep in mind.
These turbos have cost me $4500 when first came out + 1200 installation. Everytime it fails it costs $1200 for labor to replace it, if you lucky and shop doesn't charge you storage fee while you send it to rebuilt it. Good luck waiting for VTT to rebuilt it.
So these turbos have cost me total of $4500 (when first came out) + 1200 labor first set + $1200 labor second set + 1200 labor 3rd set. That's $8100 don't make the mistake I made.
Will include pictures of all turbos 1st, 2nd and 3rd set that has failed.

Wouldn't touch a VTT product with a 10ft pole

I went with a MaxPsi crank hub.

This is nothing new, Vargas products are incredibly hit or miss.

Glad I saw this before I did turbos. Trying to weigh all my options at the moment. Haven't heard great things about this company, sponsor or not. Thanks for letting us know your experience.

User had some N54 GC's, which we did have turbine issues with in 2016/17. Issues have long since been fully resolved, and I have no contact from user for the better part of two years. It's nothing more than a poorly orchestrated smear campaign.
