Im installing the single shotgun today, just wanted to see if anyone has done it yet?
Has anyone installed the Vargas shotgun yet?

Done, it is definitely NOT a simple install. As Tony wrote in the installation instructions... Have A LOT of patience and TIME to do the install. Power steering lines/ connections to the rack took the longest to sort out. The mounting of the bracket and drive housing needs to be accompanied by a beer or six.
I may hit you up for some pointers. I'll be doing a written guide, did you do the double or single?
Its a daunting install thats for sure. The PS lines, and bracket are the worst part, just take your time, and don't force anything, and it goes right in
I like a vendor that straight up tells you their product install is daunting. No bullshit. Most appreciated!

Ive got my double barrel installed it was not fun at all. +999999 for patience
I'm in the middle of doing it, I got the bolts in on the bracket but they're bottoming out, any chance the hardware is too long for the a.c. bolts? Instructions say not to use washers but I don't see any other way, otherwise the bracket isn't snug down.

I emailed them, I don’t see what a washer would be a problem but we’ll see. I went ahead and replaced the tensioner and idler pullers and the billet end for the coolant hose that secures on the head. Couple things I noticed from the instructions, single shotgun comes with one longer bolt where double comes with 3 and they’re all the same length. For single installs it says to reuse factory bolts and shows a notch whereas the one I got has no notch. I’m assuming this is a v1 instruction and v2 is a little different. The double shotgun kit instruction is missing figure 13, but you can find that image on the single shotgun install instructions.
I’m done for the day, I’ll keep at it tomorrow, I’m beat.
Edson,
Its possible this is a new issue, we had to get slightly longer bolts (5mm) as the bolt house was out of the ones we normally use, and did not want to hold up all the orders for 3 bolts. Using a washer there is 100% ok.
Thanks!
