Unhappy What N54 turbo replacement should I get?

The turbos failed on my 07' e90 335i. I was originally going to buy another 335i and sell mine to avoid the headache of this repair but after making another post on the topic I was convinced to just replace my turbos and keep the car.

So now I need to purchase replacement turbos so I can get them installed ASAP, but it has been a little more tricky than I thought. I'm not sure which ones to get and where to purchase from. I'm not looking to get any huge performance boost, I was perfectly happy with the performance of the OEM turbos. I'm just looking to get reliable replacements for the best price. Any advice or links to what you guys would recommend would help me a ton.

Additionally, I'm going to replace the head and oil pan gaskets while its in the shop since I'm leaking oil. Any links to where I could get those too would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable on this stuff so I really want to make sure I'm not getting the wrong parts.

I'd go with RB Turbos OEM replacements or billet replacements;https://www.rbturbo.com/products/335i/335i. Call and talk to Rob, you'll get great info and he'll probably give you a better price.


Or if you want some with a lifetime warranty then buy a stock set from fcpeuro.com

The RB billets are better than stock by leaps & bounds. Upgraded bearings, billet wheel, upgraded waste gates w/ special, high temp SS all come standard.

They will easily make 450hp on MHD stage 2+ with 1.75" inlets.

oem

FCP euro has Oem and OEM+ options with life time Warenty...Oem+ has the waste gate fix might be worth it...
