Might as well drop an ls3 in it at that point lol

geeezzz....you will never need to worry if you do not do the heavy mods....chips...meth...etc.... You play with fire you are going to get burnt at some point in time. Brings back of memories when Nitrous first came out....funny seeing all of those chevys with cast iron con-rods, 2 bolt mains and cast iron cranks blown to pieces..then some cheap systems that exploded when started because of the leaks.

so if i drive to cali i can get my turbos replaced for free at 55k miles???

[waterp7]

Only applies to vehicles sold, leased, and/or registered in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island or Vermont.

[jokergerm]

I think my car was sold in Connecticut. Can I get them fixed in Seattle or do I have to go down to cali

[waterp7]

It sounds like it has to be registered in one of those states. Hey how do you know if you have wastegate rattle? I hear an initial rattle when I start the car but it slowly goes away. People claim they hear it when they decelerate as well.

If it is registered in one of those states, I believe you can get the repair anywhere.

That sucks that it's limited to specific states. I'm close to Cali, but registered In Nevada

it would almost be worth the hassle of registering it in cali to get it fixed for free like it should be anyways, my dad lives there. It would not be that hard to do.............

good luck on that. RB Turbo's sound like a great deal till you factor in the wait times..... 3 months at least? i haven't even gotten a pm back and i have money in hand! I'm buying stockers proabably this week as my car is starting to smoke bad..

My bone stock 2008 e92 335xi is at the dealership getting pulled apart right now. They haven't mentioned a thing about cost. I'm at 70k miles and it's CPO. They said BMW is "opening a case" to see what to do. Should I be expecting to pay anything? I was a little concerned that they started ripping it apart without discussing cost with me. I hope that means it's the $50 or nothing...

Turbos aren't hard just time consuming.

Pull engine bay plastics, remove subframe, drain oil and coolant, remove dps and FMIC and cold side pipe, pull turbos, clean oil lines, adjust wastegates of new turbos put them in, fill coolant and oil, go in reverse order, prime coolant, done.

Parts needed all new gaskets and o rings, oil, coolant... Bolts oil lines and clamps can be reused.

2 man job maybe 10 hours labor. You need a motor hoist or tranny jack to keep the motor in place when the subframe comes out. Or you could do it the hard way and only lower the subframe.

This is a very general turbo replacement description.

You will pay just the CPO deductible. They wouldnt have started any repairs only you agreed to pay for the charges

Glad someone pointed out the obvious. You rebuild, you don't buy new. However, warranty replacement will replace because that's what manufacturers do.

But a very accurate one. Just had both of my turbos replaced at a local dealer and that was the procedure described to me.

BTW, any one know if you've got to keep the rpm's down for the first 1000 miles as is suggested w/a new motor?

I went WOT 200 miles after installation, no problems.
