Great that we now have a few options hardware wise and for this I applaud all developers, we all should. Software wise though, is it silly to think that it would have been great (for enthusiasts) to see more options, such as the Vargas turbos tuned by JB, Procede, GIAC etc.
We know that RB turbos are tuned by JB, Procede (and perhaps GIAC?)

This thread should have never been created.
Ridiculous to try and do an apples to apples comparison this early with the Vargus setup to a setup that has spent years in the making and testing. Not to even mention the differences in fuel, dynos, gears, etc... Irresponsible on the fact that the above statement should be blatantly obvious to even the most uninformed individual. |

Need to get together a Vargas TT car and a Vishnu car...
same fuel... same transmission... same gear... same dyno... same hour... Otherwise great read. Hopefully one of these will stay open for long one of these days.

I did and saw the same thing. You over-layed two dynos that shouldn't be compared, EVER. With that picture you are sending the message that your ST setup spools faster than twin setups. YES, and I do mean it in that the most general sense because that is what you are going after. That is explicitly misleading. I'm not sure of the point of this entire thread was. If the two cars you are trying to compare were equal in total turbo flow/hp capabilities then the twin setup WOULD MOST DEFINITELY spool faster. So what is your point? You might as well stated that the the factory N55 ST spools faster than your LARGE ST turbo. Again, ridiculous thread |

The spool diff and power delivery is the main thing consumers will use, along with price, to compare all the offerings (VTT, FFT, RB, etc.). In fact, that's why you posted the dyno, no? I think your charts look great. I'd just focus on staying true to your mission as you've already come so far in so little time. You've got plenty of customers waiting. 2013 is going to be a great year! |

Again, in general when you compare a large single turbo setup with two smaller twins, and each setup offers equal amount of flow/HP the twins will out spool the ST option every time. Quote:
THIS comment RIGHT HERE is the exact reason this thread is BS to begin with. Consumers will quickly read through the original comments and BELIEVE that any Vishnu ST setup spools faster than any Vargus Twin. BS I cannot stand the lengths that Shiv goes to only to try and discredit his competition. If his product is superior it will stand alone in any fair comparisons, yet we get these inappropriate threads very similar to the LP fuel pump thread that was also a total eff'n lie in the end. This thread is completely misleading and has the only intention of creating drama. |

^^^^^ Good words. There is a new guy in town & the old guard is not very happy about it. Gotta love good old fashioned competition for moving things along

Thank you for creating this thread for correcting the misinformation that was presented.
Twins vs single is a good subject since people are making wrong generalizations. You cannot generalize. For example the twin plumbing has 180 degree bend for its intake air which is one of the factors here. I'll get back with more at a better time and hope for good unbiased contributions meanwhile. |

and Big Boostin still doesn't understand the first post, so let me give it a try. Vargas started the BS when he compared his twins to a Vishnu single and said it spooled the same. It didn't. Shiv started this thread to show a better comparison, apples to almost-as-good-as-apples-but-not-quite-apples-cuz-Shiv-has-mangoes. sorta. OK maybe that didn't help lol Just click on the links in the first post, please! We've been going around in circles saying the same things back and forth since page 3. |

Well thats funny you say that, because if he meant 90 degrees, then he must know the Vishu kit also uses the same cast aluminum 90 degree elbow welded to their compressor housings outlet just like we do. The amount of just plain not paying attention, and misinformation in these threads borders on comical.
Ps, not bashing you at all. Just funny because he prob did mean 90 degrees and was trying to say its somehow going to be a restriction or hurt spool. Not knowing the product he is blindly trying to defend uses the same elbow, in the same way |

Air enters from the front of the car but the rear turbo inlet points to the rear, i.e. the opposite direction. Air has made a full 180 degrees turn when it enters the rear turbo.

The real question is will shiv provide software support to those users of his tune who choose to go with vtt stage 3 or will they be forced to go a different route in terms of software support? Although, I've decided to go with stage 2, I would like to see if shiv could work his magic as they aren't exactly the same as RBs.
