Default Vitesse Stage 2 & 3

As mentioned a few times already. Some of the components for the Vitesse Stage 2 and Stage 3 are no longer available.

Due to this shortage, the Stage 2 & 3 have been on back order for some time now. Actually the Stage 2 has not been available for a long while. The good news is that I was able to source out one Stage 2 and one Stage 3. There is a very good chance, these will be it (unless something drastic happens).

Many emailed inquiring about the Stage 2 and Stage 3 kits, but availability was a issue. So if you want one of these kits, jump on it now.

We have seen this coming for some time, and we have put aside spare parts to last a while if and when needed. Support is important!

If paid for no later than Friday, I can ship by Monday. Any later and you will have to wait till I'm back at work in a few weeks.

Prices are on the web site! For information on the kits, search is your friend. Lots of happy owners on this site!

Please email me directly if you have any questions.

TIA

As in the entire kit, or the turbo specifically? I really don't want to have to go to my fall back plan because I can't get a Vitesse Stage III anymore!

I prefer to sell the complete kit, but I see you already have the Vitesse MAF. Email me and we can work something out.

John,

I don't think you'll have a problem selling them!

Hi Darwin,

I just wanted to give Rennlisters first choice. Many emailed me inquiring, just letting everyone know at the same time.

Oh I know, I just know that they will go fast, as well. I've seen many success stories with Vitesse kits, they won't be disapointed.

Is it just me or are all your parts 'the last chance ever' type deals?

Does this mean that we will not be able to get a stage 2 and/or a stage 3 (or any turbo) from you in the future?

I'm thinking it's just you. However, with your resources, if you can find some KKK replica housings, I'll be glad to purchase them and the Stage 2 & 3 as we know them will stay on the shelf and in the product line.

Thank you for your input. Hope I answered your question!

No more Stage 2 or Stage 3 as we know them. Availability of the turbine housings is zip. The manufacturer is no longer making them.

As far as any turbo, I hope I'll come up with something. But for now that's it!

I think Vitesse makes a great product and the customer service is second to none.

However here's a post from 2/15/2007.....

As far as the price of your kit, you will be amazed at what customers are getting for the early Stage 2. Even used, they recovered most of their purchase (some actually made $).

While it's obvious that he's posted the availability of the turbos before, I'd hate to risk it on the hopes this really isn't the last of them.

My fall back plan would be the Tial Turbo, but I'd really like to go with a tried and proven product. Ive ridden in a Vitesse Stage II car before and was simply amazed at the power on-slaught of it. It wasn't a full smack in the face, though. Much smoother and more "refined" if that makes sense.

John- I will email you here soon. We may need to try and work something out!

Hi Brian, thank you for the positive feedback.

The Stage 2 availability was always dependant on availability of some parts. Back in 2006 - 2007, we lost the source for a main component (as we could not get them as a single part).. We ended up spending lots of money to have some made for us to stay on track. Well, toward the end of 2008 another obstacle popped up.

As stated many times already, The stage 2 was about to be done and it was done. The lack of turbine housings is messing things up.
The turbo I have now was put on "lay away or reserved" for the lack of a better term, since the January Sale event. The customer is a good guy, but hit rough times (like everyone in this economy). This is why it's available now!

Over the last year, I have been turning every rock over and over in search of a turbine housing. At times, paying much more over retail to get hold of a housing. Well the lake is dry. Basically, no more #8 housings to be found. I have a few that I'm keeping as spares!
