DIY: E9X N54 Turbo Install | Video DIY!

Hey guys,
We just finished putting a set of Vargus Turbos on our shop E92 335i, this car received the Vargas OE Plus Replacement Turbos as products tested on it are designed with a stock-ish car in mind.

Warning: the video is long (~30 minutes), it's detailed (bolt and nut sizes, torque specs, tricks, tips, etc), and it'll make you want to just do this yourself instead of having a shop do it.



Enjoy!

Very nice vid....but my OCD would be going into overdrive cataloging what bolt or tube went where and in what order. Pretty intense!

Zach managed to keep everything very very organized, each one of those cups he shows the bolts going into went into an area on the workbench he also tapped off and labeled so he could easily grab what he needed when the time for reassembly came.
