Trubo upgrade?
I was wondering if anyone had any new news about a turbo upgrade for our 335is. I had read a while back about vf-engineering and GIAC making one, but i dont think abything develped for over a year now. I figure if they do void my engine warranty i would rather put 8Gs towards an upgraded kit, rather than putting those 2 snails back in that could get cooked in another 10K miles. Any info would be great and if any tuner wants a guinea pig let me know.

Autotalent is STILL waiting on their ridiculous uprade from RD Sport, VIP Tuning is working on a single turbo upgrade/conversion, and their is another shop that i know of that is also close to completion.
Honeslty, it really doesn't even make any sense, most peole on here bitch about a $450 intake, imagine an $8K tab for a set of new snails.

IMO, it all depends on the whp gain from turbo upgrade. 8 grand for 70 whp, naaah. but 8 grand for 120+ whp, then it gets very interesting

How much would a turbo upgrade cost? I guess if you are really into the 335i and making it a project car, then more power to you. I'd definitely like to see the results.
