What all got fixed? Turbo's? 1, both? Or something different all together?

And yea, HD radio is pretty nice. My car has it, I like it when Im in range, when Im on the fringe it blows because its in and out from HD to non HD.

I really can't hear the difference.

I'll let the group know once I get the car back. Hopefully tomorrow is what the Shopforeman is telling me.

do I smell a nice new set of turbos?

[forza1976]

hope so...

[Bimmer This]

if your going through all of this, I wonder what i will have to go through?

[forza1976]

i know... so far it's a new valve cover, new exhaust gaskets, wastegate adjustments, new HPFP, 4 new injectors.

Waiting for word back today if the wastegate adjustments and the new exhaust gaskets have fixed the issue.

I kind of hesitant to take mine in now. Might cause other problems like what happend to you when you jumped on the highway.

Wow, if its that simple and thats what is causing the problem, then that would really be something interesting. I think that the 'older' turbo and wastegate design were supposedly weaker. They changed the design on later 08's and up to prevent the wastegate rattle, so maybe our older turbos were just weaker little bitches?

Gaskets and wastegates did NOT fix the issue.

They are getting approval for the turbos today. So hopefully I'll hear back soon on how long it will take to repair. The shopforeman said as long as they have the parts in stock it should only take a day or two. They don't drop the motor at murray, no need to as they have had practice.

[Bimmer This]

you shouldn't need to drop the motor as long as you remove motor mount.

[forza1976]

i'm not dropping the motor

[Bimmer This]

you're not doing the work

[forza1976]

[Bimmer This]

time to beat on some new turbos

Well thats good. Now if they can actually find out WHAT happened in the turbo, that would be awesome. See if they can tell you that or not. Seems like they know you there

If they had practice, then good for them. Hopefully you get it back soon.

Are we all still going?

[Bimmer This]

Are you getting DP's before bandimere?

[16M4]

I'll probably wait til I'm done with all I need to take care of first.

[Bimmer This]

How are you going to expect to beat my time then?

[16M4]

When/if I get a new car
