Hello everyone.
Now that Ive reached a new level with my 135i I figured it is time to start a thread to share my progress and what ive learned.
This is my 135i I track this car about once a month. Drift and Grip battle. Currently im running
-HPF 3.5 inch exhaust and your standard used craigslist down p!pes.
- metal + silicone passenger side inlets only
-7inch intercooler
-ER Charge Pipe
- RB 1s Stage 1 rb turbos.
Ive got through a million leaks and car has been mostly maintained by myself. Under a few occasions when I couldnt do a repair or install ( turbos , friend fried my dme with bummer boost software, and oil pan gasket) I had my local shop take care of me.
Fast forward to turbo upgrade--- RB made the process so easy btw.
I replaced almost all of my lines with new 3.5mm line from a race shop that made a huge difference for me. Also grabbed a few boost solenoids off a totaled 135i vert.
Sitting at 138K miles I started my new turbos with an 93 octane flash only.
Contacted Wedge/Ken after enough logs we needed a new lpfp
At that Point upgraded to your standard craigslist buy/forum used stage 2 pump.
That got the job done. made 446rwhp 435tq. The car was quick.
Just last week I emailed Wedge to buy a E50 flash.
He sent it to me in one night.
the result below 517rwhp 480tq
logs attached:

I desperately need a hood scoop for the inlets.. significant difference when its starving for air. Last log the inlets were getting proper air
I track the car so next I plan to work on suspension. Im not lowered and havent changed 1 thing with the suspension.
I checked most of my connections lines the night before I ran the dyno yesterday.These turbos havent been maxed out but Im not trying to achieve anything more than consistency of what I have now.
Got the car at 55k miles... 138k and 5-6yrs
strong now
