Juggernaut's 2008 Alipina White 135i

[Juggernaut135i]

Hey guys. Thought I'd share my car. It's a one owner since 2008. I have basically done everything I could do to the motor besides Pure turbos:

Active Autowerke stage 4
AA Charge pipe and BOV
AA intercooler
Macht schnell downpipes
AFE Stage 2 intake (the typical, but may just switch back to my stock air box with K&N drop in)
Next is the oil catch can

Cosmetics is basically what you see along with the LUX H8 180

Living in south Fort Lauderdale if anyone wants to start a meet!

Haha yea! Talking to a guy on this forum about swapping for his VMR V703 in gunmetal for mine plus 400. But I do t know if I can give mine up haha. I sorta like the OEM 5 spoke wheels

[Jorgensen54]

I actually just got the same wheel - I also have an AW 2008 haha...

The 264s are nice, I just think that ARC-8 and the likes look better on our cars.

Do you know what offset for those?
And are those the ones the 1M uses?

[Jorgensen54]

The 1M uses style 359 to the best of my knowledge. Not sure of the specs but I believe them to be:
FR 19*9 ET31
RR 19*10 ET25

ARC-8s are just one of the few sets of go-to wheels for E8X owners.

Mine are V703s in funny sizes because I got them for a steal and have fender flares on all 4 corners.
FR 19*8.5 ET40
RR 19*9.5 ET33

Didn't realize how different the 1M offsets were compared to the 135. The ARC-8 are so similar to the V703. But I see why the ARC-8 are a tad nicer. I just don't know how I feel about letting my OEM ones go. I sort of like them even if they just sit in my living room haha

Just purchased an oil catch can on eBay for 59 bucks with shipping included. Exactly the same as burger but 140 bucks less!!!! Next I'm gonna get eBay air scoops since they're half the price of AFE ones and do the same thing

Have you confirmed that they are indeed the same? I though I remember reading recently that the internals were different or something?

[Juggernaut135i]

I was at active autowerke and they been buy they're baffle kit off alibaba lol. All burger tuning does it's mill their logo onto the top of the baffle. As an engineer who deals with ordering parts from various vendors this is totally likely the burger buy its from alibaba in bulk put them on their CNC machine and mill their logo on to the top of the baffle.

Also I'll update this thread when I get it in and take pictures of install!

[Juggernaut135i]

Today is my cars birthday!!!! Say she came out of Munich!

[Juggernaut135i]

Soooooo I installed AFE intake. Engine bay looks good

Buuttttt in stage 4 I was going into limp when pushing the car for a while. Took it to active and they said the boost sensor was going off. Too much boost in the charge pipe I guess. Went back down to stage 3.
Gonna change all the gaskets cuz I'm leaking a little too much haha
Thinking I'm gonna clean the TMAP sensor and see if that helps. May not be reading pressure in the charge pipe correctly

[Xer0449]

I'm amazed at how much cleaner those intakes look over BMS DCI

Yup. I am so against the BMS ones. Especially in south florida.

Picked this up for 100 + 27 shipping haha

[Juggernaut135i]

Added some AFE scoops I picked up from a member for 40 bucks!!!

Next is to switch from an AA tune to MHD

Looks pretty much like the BMS one.

Just doesn't say burger tuning. Even came with worm clamps. Downloaded the burger install guide. Hope to do this sunday

[elitesales305]

this car is a cow!!!
buahahahhaahaha j/p dude.. lookin good!!

[Juggernaut135i]

Sooooo

I finally got my gaskets replaced!!!

Guy in Hollywood, Florida did them. He's on the forums I will update this with his info. Charged me 700 for it which I think is very fair. He also changed the O rings in the oil and coolant line


He's also trying to sell this VRSF intercooler if anyone is interested!

[Jorgensen54]

I just did the OFHG and OCG and it's not fun at all. But $700????

[Juggernaut135i]

So I replaced the PVC valve and added the OCC, not from burger ( spent about 100 less for the same thing).
