    Dr. vanos stage I or II

    So I have the vanos rattle and need to get it replaced. I went to Dr Vanos and am thinking of doing the stage II kit because of less drag on the internal parts. Is it worth the extra 200 to do this? I am not going for huge power numbers so I don't need every last amount of power out of the car. Thought and opinions please

    Thanks

    Michael

    We all here are only about stage 5 and up. No games.

    Buy the biesan kit and do it yourself. $65 shipped.

    I have about $10k worth of mods and upgrades on my car but I don’t have a stage 2 vanos. You can make 700 rwhp with a $65 rebuild kit on your original vanos.

    Another vote for the besian kit.
    Dr. Vanos is a waste of money imo. If youre competent enough to remove the Vanos you are more than able to rebuild it. It's like a 15 minute ordeal.

    There is no "$65" kit.
