Who's ready for upgraded turbos that won't cost $20k?

the turbos have never been the expensive part.. the turbos on vasily's 1179 hp e63 are GTX3076 which are only about $1,400 each ...

the weistec W4 kit appears to be based of the same turbo, so about $17K of the weistec kit is tuning/airbox/coolant lines/ oil lines/ turbo-folds/ gaskets and misc hardware.... you can buy the turbos separate for ~$3K and make your own kit

what happened to your car?

but my point was is that the actual turbo hardware itself its not expensive.... its the tuning to get them to work with our cars thats the expensive part

i see it now on his instagram.. saw the smoking out the tailpipe vid, sure does look like turbo seals (or coolant/head gasket since its white smoke)

Damn Vlad, sorry to hear about the turbos. Spending that much money and having these issues shortly after is a nightmare.

that sucks.
you seem to do your own work, but if you had to pay for labor it would be a nightmare.
