Want 550-750WHP from your E90? Introducing Vargas GC Turbos for N54 Powered BMWs

[@STIG30Channel]

Ahh, so that's what an internet troll looks like in real life...

[@corerulez]

I was one whimper away from buying the GC turbos, but in the last second i hearing from a near friend that his new GC turbos blown away after 800km Running with 580HP. Thanks, but i go for the new TTE600, so thats more safe!

[@bluethunderbug]

Tony: an inch is 25.4mm. The smallest diameter is the manifold is 33mm, or 1 1/3 inch (for the metricly impaired).

[@Sander_Salamander]

Glad I always read the comments!

[@in54ne82]

oem is way cheaper I work at BMW it's around 500 bucks a piece. I checked your website it was around $4700 what a rip off. I hear they fail faster than the factory ones too!

[@mperez4701]

These turbos will blow seals and smoke with 2500 miles from new.

[@Bdub423]

lol nah oem is still cheaper dude.

[@joesuee8729]

You can even tell his vibe and crookedness on camera 😂😂

[@rubberyfaceimbred]

Very well done sir, great to see the euro 2jz getting a lot of Love , I've come from a 700hp supra now building a 335i so very excited 👍

[@enkay3791]

I wouldn't buy anything from Vargas. Hands down the most unprofessional company/owner to deal with, not to mention all his other products fail prematurely and he doesn’t accept responsibility for any of the failures.

[@MJ-mx2bp]

Nate Khan TRUF

[@keithskillz90210]

For real? Smh...damn.

[@seansurfn2]

bought these and rattling noise almost immediately after install.. whole reason i bought them is to get rid of the rattling.. total garbage. i know this guy from back in cali when i lived there.. i should have listened to the warnings

[@GODISGOOD1916]

Buy timioka instead

[@iain6882]

@Anthony Russo Stop advertising/trolling for pure. Do you work for them? At least type an original post instead of copy/pasting the same one over and over. FWIW I have 35k+ miles on my Vargas turbos that are daily driven.

[@chippyjohn1]

Those puny turbos will support 750whp? thumbs up if you want a dyno run! and if the stock turbos "make" 600whp why upgrade at all! maybe that's with nitrous, maybe

[@135ieric5]

Those pos turbos would blow up on start up lmfao

[@jaymills85]

​@@135ieric5How long did they last you?

[@airforce66]

I smell something fishy. Dont let him destroy your beautiful E90

[@Bobbymustangrx8]

Wow just by looking at the comments it seems people aren't happy with that guy .

[@blkcoupequattro]

I'd say without looking aftermarket these are probably the way to go. Everything is made in Asia now, get used to it, quality control is mandatory on everything though...

[@elliottgarcia1198]

5 thousand ? might as well do a down payment on a new m3 lol

[@daboss9889]

And still get shitted on by a 335

[@yopstender2942]

Yeah adn wreck your car and still pay for it

[@Rdallday]

and while you're doing payments on an m3, 335i paid off will smash on the m3. lol

[@135ieric5]

Elliott Garcia of an actual product like DOC single turbo race kit

[@ThePainTrain21Lulz]

I have vargas stage 2 hybrid turbos fairly new with 18k on them. already need to be replaced.

[@Ecko92]

Whats wrong with them? Was looking into these, rattle? Leak? What type of warranty did they offer? Did they help you out?

[@automaniacUSA]

Wow sounds like Tony isn't a good guy. I'll pass

[@sajsed2]

gettingitfirst hahahaha I was think the same thing seems like a scam lol

[@harveyjones1404]

how can you tell?

[@oceancity5776]

They are killin him in the comments

[@NoSmileification]

Wait how is that restriction any better? It also only reduces repeated install time. Not the first time you install them, and they're not cheaper so... sure.

[@tyson3040]

Pure stage 2 is the way to go!!!

[@Bugzbunnykid]

So is Vargas not good because of the guy? I’m currently looking for new turbos for my 535 any suggestions

[@bmwthreethreefive5798]

are these made by the Taiwanese company Zage?

[@mrtruman8537]

yup :) XD

[@keithskillz90210]

More of Tony Vargas, please. Love to reverse engineer to make something better. Also, he reminds me of Ernest T. Bass from the Andy Griffith Show lol

[@andreaslohner549]

the oems only costs 1200? 😶

[@freonr2]

Are they both high or something?

[@jwrecka231]

They definitely had a joint before they filmed this haha

[@cristy7610]

could you tell me how much is the cost?

[@deacadeind]

Who's recommend for a set of good hybrid Turbos. 335D. So far I'm leaning towards PURE

[@thebrownboy217]

when running these turbos would you need a custom tune or with tuners like a jb4 or mhd be suitable for these turbos?

[@cz7619]

Most likely yeah

[@Onebad289]

Well.......I'm glad I read the comments lol

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Have a buddy that’s pissed my stock turbos puts buses on his Varges turbo “upgrade”

[@jaymills85]

They slower than stock until proper supporting mods

[@jonathanw4750]

This Tony guy seems slow in the head. Would never buy from this guy. Lol.

[@rubberyfaceimbred]

Jonathan W was thinking exact same thing 😆 but his method seems sound improve on the stock design but 2.5yrs? I don't know it's really not that difficult unless there's a hell of a lot of red tape

[@theaveragesoldier1029]

it only cost $6000. im not that rich, military life. but if i could i would

[@ricowshngtn4]

HOOAH LOL

[@erack1]

Lmao lets see if these hold up. The last ones all failed fairly quickly.

[@marcleenslavaud474]

Is this available for the 535i f10??

[@omarelkhazendar7744]

No the f10 535i uses the N55 single twin scroll turbo. Vargas does have an N55 turbo upgrade that Modbargins also carries. But I would recommend getting pure turbos N55 Stage 2 turbos as they have gotten the best results and are very well known and used in the community. As well have a great price.

[@monicavega5083]

i need these

[@dervi1966]

yee We are still waiting for the price, how much its cost for E93 335i ?

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Currently there are two versions of the GC line, The Standard GC and the GC LITE. "GC LITE" models start at 3000 and have the capacity for 700WHP. For max output, the standard "GC" line offers even greater flow and priced at 4600 for the set.

[@dervi1966]

Thanks for the explanation. Mine is already tuned to 405 hp. Can I get more with this GC, without anything to change (software /hardware)?.

[@yardkidd87]

heard these only last a year

[@chialor1945]

Chinese do a good job. Send a print to China and they will build one for ya. Make a bulk order and sell it for a shit ton. Put your label on them and it's set. I'd know, see it done all the time.

[@paulpatel7904]

Bogus turbo company.

[@alanwomack9948]

Anthony Russo lol pures are the same thing... all these companies are using the same manufacturer for all these turbos. They even have the same markings and shape from the casting

[@alanwomack9948]

Anthony Russo I’m not saying Vargas is any better than others, I know Vargas is trash. I’m saying that all of theses companies are to using the same Chinese manufacturer to build these, and either rebuilding them or having that manufacturer make custom stuff for them. Some are better than it here’s, like Pure, some like Vargas, aren’t good. The trick in this game is to find a quality manufacturer that does good work for you, or get the bulk turbos and reinforce them yourself. Come on anyone with a shred of sense can figure out what’s going on here. Ffs bmw oem turbos are Mitsubishi’s that are made in China. China makes everything these days and it’s just wrong and almost borderline racist to say that all Chinese made turbos are shit.

[@alanwomack9948]

Anthony Russo like I said, I’m not saying to buy Vargas or anyone’s turbos, I’m saying they all buy them from the same Chinese manufacturers. I even have a picture of a Pure and an 800$ Shanghai eBay special with the same etched model numbers on them 😂 if Pures are lasting so long, I’m sure they are going on and changing parts that are known to fail, so they might last really long. But anyone with a brain and some common sense and patience and some engineering knowledge can order a pair of Chinese turbos for 800$, and rebuild them to last a long time. Mitsubishi’s are Chinese and they are used as oem in bmws. That’s all I’m saying

[@HandMadeRoyalty]

Will the chra for this turbo fit my tdo4hl-16T?

[@V36wasabi]

How would it work on the automatic

[@Hargak]

Super car fast!

[@braydon1mcgee]

I may be wrong but aren't silicone charge pipes garbage?

[@bmwthreethreefive5798]

yeah alot are. I've had a set last 3.5 years so far but some people's have failed right after install. Melted

[@ejot2]

4.6k for 2 turbos? :DDD WOW.. You say it's cheaper.. I better buy BIGGER used turbo's. Then rebuild them as new. Then build custom exhaust manifold (what ever you want). And this would cost less than half price of what you offer. Cheers.

[@800bhpvideos]

Do you sell for 4g63 evo 8 that can run 600bhp clean with the earliest spool as possible? 2nd Thought just Read the comments you guys seem to have very bad feeback Ile pass 😂

[@Titan_edits87]

Oem is cheaper

[@anniedrifts13]

7 years later and you still haven’t done anything to improve the quality of “your” products or customer service? Yeah I’m lookin else where.

[@Darkeiser.7]

In trying to figure out what it would take to install this onto the e90 325i.

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Well, your 325i came with a Naturally Aspirated N52 or N53 engine. So there is no way these turbos would work. Perhaps a custom configuration with proper tuning, but thats getting a bit extreme.

[@jaymills85]

Just sell it and buy a 335i and save you some money.

[@Darkeiser.7]

@@jaymills85 I put a GM 5.3 truck motor in it and bought a 335i 😅. The 335i needs turbos now though.

[@jaymills85]

@@Darkeiser.7 you going big single or upgraded twins?

[@SavageBunny1]

Cast is actually a downgrade from the 321 SS steel BMW uses from the factory.

[@shawnmr1973]

The game changer is when the China made turbo blows apart screwing up your motor and he will say send turbo back so we can send back to China and get you another one....also keep saying cheaper .....cheaper then what a new motor because that is what you will need .....he has 739.00 dollars in a pair of these and selling for 4500.00 ..... be better off buying the China eBay 19t turbos for 850.00 shipped ......everyone knows he sold out to China give it up and go fool the dodge neon community

[@Interistapazzesco]

Is replacing the HPFP or installing an additional HPFP on N54 engines important ?

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Interistapazzesco yours will fail . Just wait until that happens

[@JDMsohc]

Guess this title should be changed to "Want 800+whp/900+wtq from your E90..?" haha..

[@akira5982]

hell enthusiastic

[@hoffnhd6923]

is each turbo $4500? or is it for the pair? im new to the n54 platform

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

The price is for the set of two with silicone pipes.

[@colin6473]

literally about to buy some of his turbos till i saw this video.... i could always play off the comments online because its.. online. Yeah.... no thanks.

[@bambinobmg5106]

will this work for xi for my 535xi e60 08

[@bambinobmg5106]

n54 engine

[@IIDUCI]

why they are both lost and confused between the 2 camera's. lel

[@irmeubu]

what's the difference between gc and gc lite?

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Both the GC and GC Lite's fit in the OEM location. Only differences is price point and maximum power potential. GC Lites maxing out around 700, and the standard GC's in excess of 750+

[@turbolabamerica]

One isn't as big of a game changer

[@mrmeadowsiscool]

well. them MMP coming out should do 850whp... these are now obsolete lol

[@m-tech3965]

vote pure turbos or vargas ?

[@Danbimmerfan]

Pure... shouldn’t even be a question

[@sr20dett1000]

So below 600whp it's good then.

[@KozmikEl7]

I need this terribly bad is anyone doing this in a Seattle?

[@Iraqitammar]

good luck finding a good shop + a good tuner in WA. this fucking state is only for nerds who works for Microsoft and amazon. lived there for 5 years.

[@KozmikEl7]

your so right man I'm only left with bmw dealerships...but I will keep searching

[@keithskillz90210]

What? It's like one of the biggest aircraft production areas in the world...how could you leave out Boeing when they built that city when Bill Gates was a pre teen? Many engineers there, why do you think you cannot find someone to work on a measly 3 series? I was considering moving to Seattle next year, you sound like you don't like it

[@Iraqitammar]

Because this fucking city it's for nerds with glasses and coffee only, but car modifications/racing...etc It's not the right place. I've been living here for 5 years now and when I wanted to installed ESS supercharger and NOZ on my e46 m3! I had to take it OR.

[@keithskillz90210]

Oh...that sucks. You sound very passionate about your thoughts on Seattle and I want to hear more. Are you going to continue to live there or are you scoping other cities? I plan on making a move to the west coast next year and am considering Southern CA or Seattle.

[@LBB988]

BW EFR series is the best

[@Iraqitammar]

listen you fools, the only reliable turbo upgrade for e90 e90 is Pure Stage 2. 500+ hp

[@MJ-mx2bp]

Tito Neal unfortunately that's not the case. I know of MANY blown Pure's. The difference is that they handle damage control MUCH differently than Vargas. Meaning, Pure will void warranty if you go public with the bad turbos.

[@Iraqitammar]

every single turbo can blow even oem. it depends on the tune and how muxh psi are you running. pure has been proven to be the most reliable with proper tune. I know some fools running 24psi on pure stage 2 with stock down pipe stock sparks stock exhaust stock intercooler with jb4 and they even blew up the engine itself. so it's all about how you modify the car and how you tune it.

[@jacobhauenstein]

Yeah so it costs about 6,000$ for the full setup. For that much you can get a reliable single turbo, this seemed fishy from the start. No real explanation or any major changes, just a slight change to the manifold and barely larger turbos. K.

[@monster2783]

Bruhhhhh where's my car

[@daniel-rc6ms]

Cheaper wtf these are 5 grand for such a little upgrade

[@IAmDamiani]

How much? Take my money now!!!!

[@damiendegrasse]

like 3k, they have had some reliability issues, I think the latest release is better though.

[@Modbargains-google-plus]

Currently there are two versions of the GC line, The Standard GC and the GC LITE. "GC LITE" models start at 3000 and have the capacity for 700WHP. For max output, the standard, "GC" line offers even greater flow and priced at 4600 for the set.

[@damiendegrasse]

Oh wow I didn't realise you could hit 700 at the wheels with the lite model. Even with shipping, ceramic coating and extra bits its only around 4600 .... Sold.
