The car has to be remapped again to take into account the new turbo performance so it'll be on the dyno again. I don't know how hard I want to push the car - theoretically I should be able to get over 500bhp quite easily, but I'm not really keen on the idea as having 470bhp with room to spare is more in keeping with the idea of durability!

More pictures -
TD have machined completely new wastegate bushes from stainless billet to replace the worn bushes. These will be much more durable! New wastegate bush machined from stainless billet New wastegate bush installed

Not really... I think it's the 150+ laps of the 'Ring that's done it
Still, someone's got to find out what the factory parts can handle, right?!

BMW can't do anything like this, because it requires a complete redesign of the turbo by Mitsubishi. The amount of work gone into it is just too costly for an OEM fix.

strange thet mitsu designed such a crap turbo, normally they are doing well
why TD isn't installing a bigger exhaust turbine wheel? Only bend the OEM fins? Really hope the spooling time won't be increased by the mod... pulling hard from 1500rpm till 7K would be insane |

You're right, only the compressor wheel has been enlarged and not the exhaust turbine wheel. The exhaust turbine hasn't been enlarged because it's really hard to get a bigger exhaust wheel into the housing for a few reasons. Firstly the size of the shaft, journal bearings and thrust bearings would all be different so as well as sourcing a new shaft you would need to find something that has the same outside-diameter journal bearings. This would be like searching for a needle in a hay stack. The second would be trying to re-profile the turbine housing would be very difficult especially for a one off. It would be possible in batches but then you come back to the first problem of finding the right size parts! And just to clarify one point - the OEM blades aren't "bent" - Turbo Dynamics use a cylindrical grinder to remove literally a very tiny slice of material

WOW this is really High tech processing.
Hopefully they keep all the tools for future use, I think if everything goes well for you I will go to them with my spare turbo set Do they specify the extra performance of the turbos cfm psi and spool time? Or is it a surprise when you will test it? |

One question: Can you drive the car with the upgraded turbos without the remap? Or do you believe that will trigger a limp mode? I assume you will have to drive the car to DMS for the remap, don't you? Alpina_B3_Lux

ASR is using Garrett ball bearing turbos and have not upgraded the Mitsubishi ones like Turbo Dynamics do. But there's no detailed info about what they have done, at least so far and to my knowledge.

From Turbo Dynamics -
"Looking at the ASR turbine wheel, they have changed the CHRA (core assembly) for a Garrett CHRA which not only means a lot of machining and probably a welded adaptor ring on the turbine housing. It also means that you would have to change the oil and water lines which I can imagine isn't easy!" I'm not a turbo expert by any stretch in terms of the design and components, so I'll leave it at that for now!

The engine itself on my car is in pristine condition, and the head is totally clean too. The main issue is the degradation of the turbos as you have already seen. And yes, BMW UK are well aware of the condition of my car

They apparently made some gains over stock, but clearly no where near the potential of the upgrade. |

However, as already suggested....the smoke has absolutely no odour to it at all and subsides once you rev the engine. Looks like condensation to me but there is so much of it.....I can only assume that the stock pre-catalytics are doing a really good job of converting the exhaust gases to H2O. |
