Good to know. Why do you want new turbos?

Look at Vargas Turbo, they’re somewhat local to me. Idk much about them except that they held some records in the BMW community.

Maybe a smaller company like them would care more about your business.

I don’t mind all the turbo noises, it’s a cool mechanical sound imo. I have some down pipe rattle too that pissed me off before but now I don’t mind that either.

2k ain’t bad but I’d do something else with the money if it was me.

Yeah, i've been on the fence about turbos or injectors. The engine got replaced in twenty twenty, but I have no idea about if the injectors were reused or if they were new.

Please look up Vargas VTT.
Look at the E9x 3 series forum and F8x M3/4 forum.
You just may change your mind.
