Well if the turbos are going to be removed, those with the WG rattle can fix it themselves, am I wrong?
Would factory wastegates be used? I know Forge has upgraded wastegates for many Euro Turbo applications. Forge is also about 10min from my house =) |

As per my knowledge , bigger turbos will create a slightly increased turbo lag effect. How do you compensate this?
Also , as turbos getting bigger the volume of the air comming out of the turbos (towards to IC)is now bigger than before. Does it means that a bigger IC is now a "necessarity".Are you going to include an IC as standart to your turbokit? What are you going to do with both the above?

Turbo lag would come with bigger turbo housing.Good to keep oem housing also for the exchange.

Actually depending on where the trade-offs are a larger housing could possibly allow for a faster spool up. These things spin so fast that any differences in mass on either side (compressor/turbine) play a huge part what lag will be felt. |

I really think it’s selfish to say that the wastages problem is BMW's. Although that is true, you are giving us a turbo Kit. If you’re going to do one part You NEED to do the whole thing. The waste gates are a obviously a large part of the Turbo. Why someone would get this kit if it’s still attached to a shitty Westgate is stupid. Plus by the time we get this kit, Why the F would BMW fix our wastages’. Its all or nothing man, I can believe you just said that....Lame.

Its pretty tricky to fit those huge wheels in such limited space but I guess it worths the pain.

This could also be why it is not important. Apparently he doesn't believe bigger turbos are the answer. Terry BMS quote: "I think for guys looking for 475-500hp its a good way to go. For most, a waste of time. You can make 420+rw on the stock turbos. Maybe more. Bigger turbos only add headaches (both tuning and other), PITA installs, and slower boost build up (IMHO)." .

I totally get the optical inspection, but the reality is that BMW will drive the vehicle if warranty work's performed...and an additional 100-150WHP is kinda tough to hide if there isn't a map or such for it. (eg - APR uses cruise control stalk to switch b/w stock and tuned maps in the VWAG world) Just wondering. Thanks for the news & innovation!

he has also stated similar things in various threads over at the other forum. Terry even went as far as saying if the new turbos deviated too much from stock power curves, he would personally prefer flash tuning.... then he implied that this was possible with his current business relationships / associates. i would not count terry out at this point.
