I see on Page 1, you state Bimmerlife coils but that not them.

Hey Coupes. So nice to see you name pop up again !!! Page 1 update (sry about that) Yep very quite in here (tumble weed rolls by) hahaha. Yes Vince did an amazing job. Still needs Tim to do his tuning magic but otherwise, the low mount is great. Performance wise, it pulls better and is probably 10% smoother due to the old set up having a long term boost leak and damaged turbine blades. Sound wise not much difference. Can still hear the turbo spool and BOV sounds
The major advantage is heat management. No more melted coils etc. Had to replace the bimmerlife coils with the B58s simply because they were cooked. Car is running really nice expect for a long crank when hot. Be interested to see how it goes on the dyno when Tim gets the tune properly dialled in. Nice to hear from you again mate. Have you still got your car? If not what are you driving now??
