Hey guys,
Since the interest around these turbos is growing, it was about time i'd share my experience with them so far, but first a brief intro:
My car is a 2010 E82 135i 6MT with 100,700km on the clock, and has undergone a 1M conversion.
Short mod list is:
@Hydra Performance HP800 Turbos (installed at 71 000km)
Inlets and Outlets
Phoenix 7.5 IC with 3" lower charge pipe
Stock plugs, Delphi GN10571 coils (metal shielded)
Supersprint Race 1M exhaust
VTT Single barrel
Walbro 450 LPFP
Low and High side external PCV with catch cans.
Tuned by
@V8bait, running 21psi and E85. No need for more because power > traction
The list goes on but it should be enough to give context.
Long story short, i love these turbos! I had other upgraded turbos on the car before I installed these, from a popular brand i'd rather not name here, but they had ultra bad spool and failed in very short order. Then along came Omar @ Hydra Performance and convinced me to give his babies a try, despite them not being a popular or mainstream choice at the time. I bit the bullet, and here I am, almost two years later!

After much pestering from my friends, I finally bought a dragy last week. The results surprised even myself, so I figured I'd share them on SS.
Run below was done in 4th only, because no traction in 3rd....
