YouTube just changed its monetization policy, now requiring 1,000 subscribers to be eligible for ad revenue. I’m only at 471 subscribers, can you help me by subscribing to my channel?

I promise it’ll be worth it! I have some cool videos on there about my 135i and will be posting tons of videos once I have my new Doc Race 6266 single turbo kit installed.

Yep, I've posted on some BMW Facebook groups and other forums.

Stay tuned, I'll be showing off the car and it's current state, along with details on the Doc Race 6266 kit!

My buddy Lee has been helping me behind the scenes on some stuff due to my lack of motivation. He's a certified BMW tech. Anyways, on to the updates.

We swapped over all the accessories from my previous motor. Injectors, water pump, HPFP, oil filter housing, tensioner, pullies, etc. Took a peek at the internals while we installed the new valve cover and oil pan gasket. Everything looked minty. Then we fitted the single turbo parts. Everything is coming together nicely. I'm going to walnut blast the intake valves this weekend, then it should be ready to go back into the car.

I've decided to continue with the vlog-style videos for now. Here you can see the full kit installed, and I answer a question I've been asked a lot.

That's what I was thinking. It looked almost brand new! Fingers crossed that it holds up.

Searched through this thread/channel and totally realized that your NoFlyZone video was the one that really got me intrigued into buying an N54 vehicle. Glad to see that you are making progress and that the car is going to be even faster!
