Turner Motor Mounts / Rogue Engineering Trans Mounts
I just installed Turner Poly 60a Motor Mounts & Rogue engineering Transmission Mounts.
I will of course update this thread once I get 2 to 3,000 miles in when they are broken in. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/e/p...ne-mounts-60a/ http://www.bimmerworld.com/Driveline...SABEgIdcfD_BwE The car seems more direct and linear under acceleration. The transmission never skips a beat. There is a noticeable level of NVH at idol while in drive. However, when you accelerate, the NVH is totally non-existent. I don't know if this will minimize a little once the motor & trans mounts are broken in or not. Time will tell. |

Perhaps try raising the idle RPM in MHD by a few hundred RPM?
I've had my mechanic install a set of 60A TMS engine mounts along with SMF on my VTT GC lite turbo upgrade (have UUC black trans mounts) will be interesting to see how it feels |

I don't have MHD on or any tune on my car. My turbos have 153,000 miles on them. I fixed the wastegate rattle and installed new turbo seals. So far, the car runs strong. So, trying not to push my luck. I just installed new, index 12 injectors. If and when I get new turbos, I'll install new plugs & coils. At that time, I'll look into MHD for sure. |

Also you could try loosening up all engine and transmission mounts, run the engine, shut it off and then fasten the mounts. This way engine and transmission will be fasten in there naturally resting position. It might not work but sometimes it does. Is what I have learned working on cars.

How did you fix your wastegate rattle? wastegate repair kit? I had my oem turbos rebuilt with this kit was curious to know how long the rebuilt arms would last (I sold my oem turbos as rebuilt turbos to offset the cost of my new turbos) Hmm TBH MHD is more then just a tune, you can use it to log your vehicle, use it to monitor and clear codes and also raise the RPM etc etc I know you can flash the oem map with MHD, FWIW $100 or so might be worthwhile to get MHD to raise your RPM slightly? |

To fix the wastegate rattle you have to first turn the actuator screw, on the rear turbo 2 1/2 x. For the front turbo, you buy two no. 8, stainless steel washers & modify them. You take a dremmel or a grinder wheel and cut out a section of the washers so you have a horse shoe shape left. The next step is to loosen the actuator housing bolt on the front turbo from up top. Then working underneath the car you need a telescope/magnet type pick up tool. Use that to carefully place both horseshoe shaped washers "in-between the block & actuator housing. I superglued the washers together. End result is that will create more tension on the actuator rod and get rid of wastegate. If for some reason both these tricks don't get rid of wastegate or they do, but after a period of time the wastegate comes back, then you will absolutely need new turbos. Maybe not right that day, because you can still have a functional car with wastegate, but it's only a matter of time before your get the dreaded 30ff code. I bought the rogue trans mounts from Bimmerworld, which is a vendor that just deals with BMW's. |

Update - 100-125 miles in
Today, I noticed less NVH while driving. It's not me just getting used to it or anything like that. I'd say at idol the NVH is probably 30-40% less than it was 100-125 miles ago when I first installed them.
So, there must be a break in period with the poly engine mounts from Turner & rogue engineering trans mounts. Maybe they are starting to settle.... idk I don't expect that there will be a day in which I won't feel NVH at idol. I knew going in that there would be some increase in NVH. When you use harder parts like polyurethane, you are gonna increase the level of a NVH. Just my observation today. Less NVH at idol. |

For what it's worth.. I'm rolling over 160k on my car's original turbos, with 0 rattle, and I'm running stage 2 MHD, with catless downpipes, without issue. Never rebuilt. My OFHG and oil pan gaskets are starting to look rough, but other than that, the car is solid. I'm HOPING to get 200k out of the originals, as I'm currently putting a ton of mileage on the car. I don't really expect to make it to 200k, but it would be really nice.

is 30FF really the sign that your turbos are dead ???
i bought my 335i with the 30ff code and been running 21psi for a year without my turbos going out or showing signs of slowing down... 30ff was gone by replacing a coil on the 2nd day never seen it since |

It can be a sign yes. I'd only say it is once you've exhausted all other options like turbo Solenoids or a leaky intake manifold, or a vac line or two that is old and cracked, or really bad wastegate that hasn't been attempted to be fixed via washers, & turning the actuator screw on the rear turbo. There is a laundry list one should go through before one says the turbos are toast when discussing a 30ff code.

A local shop has had several poly engine mount sets of differing brands fail on street driven N54s, probably in large part due to the heat produced by the N54. I know the turner mounts have a "casing" around them to help protect them, but I would highly recommend checking on your mounts every once in a while regardless. They told me it got to the point where they won't install poly mounts on any N54 car seeing anything other than strict 1/4 mile duty unless the owner is fully aware of the consequences and super adamant about using poly mounts. Their suggestion (and one several other knowledgeable people online seem to hold) is that if you're driving on the street at all, stick with OE mounts until we get a feasible all-rubber option unless you're okay with using a solid engine mount on one side like some of the single-turbo kits offer. Judging by the amount of failures of the 034 rubber mounts, I think it's obvious these cars can give engine mounts a beating, and there's probably a reason BMW chose to go with fluid-filled mounts even on the 1M and IS models. Some people are currently trying the revshift motor mounts which come with a heat blanket for the exhaust-side mount, but I'd be hesitant to be a guinea pig on those right now too if you aren't gonna be happy about the damage a failed engine mount can do.

I could go back in and wrap that mount with DEI Gold Heat Tape, which is supposed to be good for 850 degrees. I have never tempted the exhaust manifold with an inferred gun to be higher than 500 degrees. Your thoughts ? |
