GT Pro Performance Tuning turbo upgrade

Just a map doesn't help to much. you need to adjust quite a bit.

are the bearings upgraded at all with this?

What type of CFM do these turbos push out? Better yet, do you have a compressor map? I only ask since I'm on the Helix IC GB and just want an idea if the IC I am purchasing is within the range.

Hey Brian, your inbox was full so I'm hitting you up on this thread.

If you know the 335i community, then you won't be surprised to hear many of us have a very love/hate relationship with our N54-enabled 335s. We've heard countless stories of promising projects (AMS) and turbo upgrades (HPF) -- but to date, none of the industry stalwarts have stepped up to the plate and knocked out a home run... at a reasonable cost anyways.

What do you have that would potentially get me to my HP/performance goals? Since I don't care about warranty (over 60K now), do you offer bigger turbos in the OEM locations? Have you worked with Terrry @ BMS for a suitable tune for the JuiceBox? What sort of engine mods have you peformed?

Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if the engine, when left stock, will be an utter FAIL with increased HP in the 500 range. Pehaps this vehicle is just not the application to begin a HP build-up. That new Mustang GT500 is starting to look good now

Any updates?? What happened to this post?

From my knowledge these turbo's didn't make much power even when tuned.. if you stick with stock cores, EPL and Rob Beck Turbo's are the way to go right now..

Thanks for the update!

I am aware of EPL after following JPSimon's thread... but what about Rob Beck? I keep on seeing his name alongside EPL but does he have a website?

Thanks.
