Big Boost Turbo Kit Discussion

[1slo_135i]

Since there isn't a dedicated thread for the Big Boost Turbo kits I figured we could use one. I'm purchasing a stage 3.4 kit for my 2011 135i n55 DCT.

Any questions, installation advice and recommendations can be posted here.

Videos and pictures are encouraged to be posted here. I'll post up mine when it comes in the next couple weeks.

A brazilian turbo, seriously? With a kit that's not cheap to begin with and the all-up cost of going big that seems like a real mistake.

I guess it includes a remap too, so fair enough. On the other hand you could spend a little more and get a really nice, crazy fast spooling BW.

Food for thought, consider how much money you've already spent on the car including the purchase price and maintenance, and what supporting mods you'll probably want with that much power. The extra $2-3K to get a super badass kit practically disappears down the cracks.

I'm FBO already running meth as well. I understand what you mean. I wish they has an option to upgrade to a BW. In the meantime I'm willing to give them a chance.

Pictures of the kit added. Install will begin in the next couple weeks. I'll try to get some pictures of the install.

I've been shopping around and that was my deal for a bit more getting a ball bearing efr turbo just seemed like a no brainer but I am still very eager to see how you like it and if it can change my mind.

What Hp are you aiming for?


I want to do something like this to my 1er about a year form now so I'm definitely interested in seeing progress!

Have you built your engine? I'm reading that people are bending rods at 600whp
Im really curious as to what goes next, say you put in some H-beam rods and new pistons what goes next? Head Gasket/Head studs and at what hp levels is it failing?

If you're doing stage 3.4 I expect to see 800whp!
