Nice to see a forum full of mature vendors showing some respect for each other

Right. As I understand it RB's and Vargas stage 2 do have physical differences. No one should get upset or bicker, and just lay them out on the table for the consumer to see what is in the soup they are buying to make the most informed choice.

I think RB's are a proven solution and Vargas stage 2 will soon be (hopefully this summer in many customer hands) a second proven solution even though they are not physically identical.

I'll be picking up the car from Tony either late next week or the following. Tune will come shortly after. I'll try and put up a video of the car starting!

Can you run either the RB's or Vargas stage 2's just on 91 or 94? With no meth?

Which turbos did you go for?

sure, but meth/race gas/e85 tunes will provide much more power

Thanks. Wanted to know if it was possible to do so, or it's just not advised as they need meth to run properly?

I don't have race gas or e85 close by, and don't have the willpower for now to get meth installed.

Also, how much of a WHP bump (fully bolt on) on 91 or 94 (but no exhaust) could one expect adding RB's? I'm running Cobb Stage 2+ maps right now. That way I can decide if the upgrade is worth it, based on the minimum gains at least, and if I add meth later, it's gravy.
