New turbos

Got my 335i back today after having the turbos & the sump gasket replaced, what a difference a new pair of turbos have made. The old 35i was always a quick car especially with the engine & gearbox remapps but now it feels so much quicker, lag is almost unnoticeable now & no more rattling waste gates.
The new VRSF charge pipe seems to have given the car a more raspy sound & seemed to give a bit of a performance gain during the few days I was running it with the old turbos.

The Mrs is a bit miffed that I've spent 3k on the car this month as the water pump also had to be replaced a week ago but I did notice a little smile on her face during our little drive this evening.

Am rather looking forward to having a proper drive of it this weekend & am going to take a trip to the pod & see if I can now get that sub 13 second quarter mile
