JET's 335Xi

Those Borg turbos with the integrated BOV and wastegate are sweet, if my turbos go out I'll probably switch to those.

Well time for an update! I just ordered one of these up, they had a group buy for 15% off and I couldn't pass it up. Don't tell the wife! :D Stage 1 turbo good for `40whp over stock and much more than that up top. Will hold 17psi to redline now instead of 10.

The best part is they give you full credit towards their stage 2 turbo when it comes out! They are shooting for 500whp with that one. Still stock housings but a different turbine wheel too. Probably going to need a FMIC soon and possibly a Cobb AP.

Image doesn't seem to work for me, can you post a link to ehatever you bought? I gather it's a turbo but it could be some kind of elaborate bacon injection system?

No idea where the turbo pic went!

Whats that fitting on the inlet for? Just a dowel for alignment or actually serve some sort of functional purpose?

Looks like where the intake pipe bolts on.

I believe that is a threaded stud to hold the intake on.

Finally got a chance to work on getting this turbo on. Holy shit this is a bitch! I would take a turbo swap on the rustiest hacked together DSM over this. Finally got the damn turbo out after 4 days and the fittings were a big part of the problem. All of them were seized in the turbo. The car is a 2011, but is driven winters. I was pretty shocked it was that bad. Nothing else was corroded very much, just tons of shit to take out and most very hard to get to. Got it out tonight and started to get it back in place. I was hoping to be done tomorrow, but I doubt that will happen, probably Friday night. I need to get this done and started on the painting project.
