2009 E93 ADE Single Turbo Build
- Thread starter doublespaces
- Start date
It was definitely a sleeper before. Now with the carbon trunk not so much. I'm going for more of a 'factory fit' appearance moreso than just a sleeper look. Clean and modified yet unassuming.
The ricer runs too deep, gotta have something flashy if I don't have the neon colored silicone hoses
Just do the edge of the duck bill or the license plate area in the raw carbon.
I actually want to try and get the E92 LCI tails to work on an E93. There are some differences, I'm not sure what but I'll go through the wiring later and see if I can find out for fun.
Curious to see how these double/single shotgun actually perform in real life.
There have been multiple reports on both I've read and heard. The single shotgun just did 700whp on full E85.
Yeah, I have seen these show up now and then. But the only solid review with pics and some sort of log is this one: https://bmw.spoolstreet.com/threads/vtt-double-barrel-review.2162/
These things have been around since late 2014. It is an interesting concept, but with early report of QC problem (belt slips, broken mounts, etc.) and reputation of VTT, I am just a bit skeptical until there are more solid data on these things.
There is more. Frankly, its an expensive piece that is a pain to install and its hooked up to a lot of cars that just aren't finished or are in a state of being upgraded. I've owned my car for almost 2 years and I've barely driven it.
Here is another one: https://bmw.spoolstreet.com/threads/135i-build-thread.2441/page-5
Theres at least 2-3 more people I've spoken to, same story, it performs.
Fair enough, going through a build myself, so I can relate to that.
Hoping to see some results in the near future.
There is so much work you've put into this, great products, must of got a ton invested. Goes to show there are dedicated workers to this platform that put out remarkable products. Looks like it's going to be a beast!
Thanks! I figured I'd start my mid life crisis project a bit early so I'm ready in advance.
Haven't activated second pump yet. Will do that end of this month along with turning on PI when my tuner flies down.
This is how you do it. I honestly can't stand e-tunes, but sometimes you don't have a lot of options. I'd rather pay double or triple and have an in person tune on a loaded dyno.
Ya I just did 4.5 hrs on a dyno to make base tune remotely with my tuner at $100 hr dyno time. Now he'll come down to finalize tune on dyno at end of this month. I can't drive car until I put new tires on. Drove mine for 5 months and they're shot. They spun on dyno and now they're just all steel. I'll snap pic of them tomorrow. NT05R 285

Has not been to the wash but here is a peak. Still getting the trunk dialed in, need to do some more adjusting. The driver side shock actually broke itself when I had it pushed down into the trunk. I went to install it and noticed it had pressed so hard against the back of the car it broke the tip off. Another issue, I can pull the shock off the stud even after its been clipped on, the connection is not good because of the angle or size, not sure. Also the pad sweep is not centered on my rear rotors, not sure there is a solution to this without just going to an ECS style bracket.
