Apex 693 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 Foo that's a thick one! Cool to see the 335i's have fallen to a price point where tuning enthusiasts are starting to play with them a bit more, its great that the rest of the world have been doing it for 7 or so years so the development is done and the car is old enough that the parts have come way down in cost. Can see quite a few of these beasts being built over the next few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted November 13, 2013 Will do , probably won't get around to installing until xmas. Definately not as big as your monster. Hows the diff? Had a missing package from the USA to NZ - that took a couple of weeks to sort out (diff lockdown kit) car's currently at GT refinishers getting the guards rolled and installing my new lip and side - next week @bmworkshop the LSD, lockdownkit, boost guage, new enginer cover will be done - just in time for sunday's track day at hampton downs Foo that's a thick one!

Definitely, its just a pity that all the stage3 turbo's are only for the LHD market at this stage I have been playing around with a e40 map and i have just been so impressed how hard it pulls - i have a inline pump (for the lower fuel pressure pump) on its way so i can run straight e85 - will need to get it up on the dyno once done 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 Lol, damn - thankfully not that damaged! Is the sound like a flute ? ( best way I can describe it ?) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 Right side hose just needed tightening up some more. During the install there was a bit of oil in the pipes, so think that bms oil catch can is on the cards and the sound disappeared once it was tightened? - hmm if so may need to check mine ya catch can is pretty good mod, saves you from having to get your intakes cleaned out which is a pain from what i hear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
