Carl and Ken, let me know what I can do for you guys as thanks for helping me… I could NOT have done any of this without you. Glad I’m moving on and looking to end this saga. Good news on the pick though, that’s fast! Thank god. I’m ready for a professional shop who knows the 335i and N54 inside and out to get her back to standard! I’m sure its missing bolts and screws and many other pieces... My car is so jacked up right now. Shiv, thanks for taking on my project and helping me restore my car to health man. |

I also want to thank everyone who contributed with donations to help me get this sorted out. I’ve been able to raise just under $1,300 because of all of YOU!!! You guys also made this happen for me. That will cover my trip down to Vishnu and part of the trip home. I just pray the damage is minimal on Shiv’s end. Either way I’m getting the heavy end of the hammer but with your help, you have all made it possible to stay above water!

I'm looking forward to seeing your car running soon. I wasn't able to flash your transmission, so once you get things sorted, give me a call if you need help. Good luck Eric.

Well the initial inspection from FFTEC went well.... lol... Right.
My car is a total mess and essentially everything HPF did is damaged, unusable or causing more harm than good. i have to start from square one and I will need to take out a loan just to get my car back in running order. If i sent you guys the Inspection Invoice you would loose you mind as too how much stuff is fucked up on my car as a result. Everything is either installed backwards, wrong or damaged... Um, the O2 sensors and waste gate lines are backwards... I wonder why it wont run? lol. Turbo is also damaged due to poor mounting and installation. |

If It happened to me, I would sell the car and get out of it. unless FFTEC is willing to help you out and do it at cost I think it's a money sink I can;t believe HPF were that irresponsible with your car especially. Makes me sick. what's you plan?

Even going back to stock is going to cost me a shit ton given the laundry list of additional faults on the car. Right now im working with FFTEC to go over my very slim options. Ill sell my car to the first one who shows me 25,000 lol. Any one want a one of a kind HPF Turbo Manifold? 5,000... Sorry, Im trying to stay motivated. |

Stay positive tho, you have come this far and deserve to get a working single turbo one way or another, would be cool if FFTEC could hook you up with sponsorship. Your car is in good hands, keep us posted. Last edited by dlbrooks18; 05-23-2013 at 02:13 PM.. |

I took a close look at the car today and went over the list of issues FFTEC found during the inspection. It's pretty bad. Manifold runners are hitting the valve cover, oil leaks everywhere, leaking brake line, missing turbo bolts, etc,. Unfortunately, the problems aren't just related to tuning. How this car was ever on the dyno is beyond me. We haven't even started the car yet. It's really disappointing that the car was built the way it was built
