What if we have had turbos replaced before but have passed 82k miles since? Also what about hpfp issues? I'm close to full bolt ons.

So has anybody gone to this dealership, besides BLK, and gotten the service done for waste gate rattle? Or anybody from so. cal. get the same service done at Mckenna BMW? I am full bolt-on and I am pretty sure my seals are done, as my car sometimes looks like it's on fire because of the clouds of smoke

I'm in SD and my waste gates are bad (confirmed by Escondido BMW).

But I'm at 108k so beyond the warranty period :-(

Oh well, I'm saving up for Stg 2 Vargas!

The good news I have is that I have a really good friend who is a service adviser at a BMW dealership in San Diego that is an expert when it comes to the turbo/wastegate warranty. In fact he's so good that I was able to get both of my turbos replaced recently because of waste-gate rattle alone. The best part of this is that I have full bolt-ons with a GIAC stage 2 flash and I didn't have to remove anything. Not even put the GIAC flash on stock mode.

If you have wastegate rattle or having turbo issues please feel free to shoot me a pm so I can give you the contact information of my service adviser. He's an enthusiast himself so he's super easy to work with and will take great care of your car.
I have a 2010 with high mileage and would love to take advantage of this offer. I'm past th 82,000, but have four star plus extenende warranty through BMW. Could he help me out? You can text or call me @ 818 406 0728.
Thanks.

Already got mine at the 79k mark, but great post for others. Should be in the Turbo forum for others to enjoy.
