I replaced it with a $3500 aftermarket one that was bigger and ran 17 psi until I got rid of it at 120k miles with no turbo issues just lots of tranny issues.

If I had to guess the 335's turbo's would be close to $8000 to replace them both.

8,000? They are are around $1600 plus labor if $2400 at most. I can do the swap in 6 hours but some reason BMW charges 25 hrs labor lol!
