I can post a pic of the car that will get the upgraded turbos, but pics of the engine will not be necessary because we are going for a OEM bolt on solution.

But what I will try to do is get pics of the removal of the old OEM turbos and installation of the upgraded turbos.

It's not our intention to beat prices, but I would say it is still too early to tell.

should be a fun build, but im confused... why would you go back in for warranty work on your turbos if your replacing them anyways...

ctgazer · 08-17-2010, 08:45 AM

nice find...interested to see the progress!

hope they dont lose your turbs in the pile!

Pardon my ignorance, but how are you dealing with the increased fuel requirements? Are there any replacement injectors for this car that can push more fuel?

Soni · 08-17-2010, 12:18 PM

wow...can't wait to see the outcome result.

tres · 08-17-2010, 12:36 PM

im waiting for the end result price

I understand your point, but there's no reason to tell him other N54 snail upgrades are priced around 3k and people are actually willing to get ripped off like that. The current N54 turbo upgrade prices are outrageous (look at turbo upgrades/rebuilds for other platforms and see for yourself) and it would be interesting to see what kind of price he tells you without knowing the current "market". He certainly seems like a professional and knows what his work is worth, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out being less than half of the current prices.

I am kind of hoping this as well. Thanks Farley for being the pioneer on this one, many in the community, including myself, really appreciate it.
