Any Experienced Inlets Installers in the Philadelphia Area?

Jeffman · 08-13-2016, 12:55 PM

Any recommendations for an installer in the Philadelphia area who has experience installing inlets (OEM location) on an 08 335xi? (Gotta drop the subframe, remove downpipes, etc.)
Thanks.

I would go to helix everyone I talk to in philly swears by them. They quoted me some very reasonable #s for turbo and inlet install.Prices were much lower than local shops. Plus they specialize in BMW installs so probably have done quite a few inlets by now.

Make sure you take it to someone who has done that same type of set up before or have fun paying someone else to sit there for hours trying to figure it out... Ask me how I know.

An experienced installer is definitely worth using on inlets.

Decided to have the VRSF ones I ordered from you installed when my new motor was going in thinking that would save me an entire Saturday and it wouldn't add much time... Well, he had no idea how to relocate everything properly so he took hours doing it and of course that adds up really quick. Reason 974 that this was the first and last time someone else works on my car.

Which is why I get a firm quote before I have an install like this done. I'm not going to pay someone to learn on the job.

Thank you, everyone. Helix is closer to me so I'll start with them.

What's a reasonable time estimate for inlets?

4-6 hrs is the usual if the shop knows what they are doing.
