I have an 08 335i turbos have a bad wastegate rattle dont even get full boost anymore, already adjusted wastegates before and rattle came back, so this sped up my little build a bit.
car currently has:
mods that im going to install
Car is currently my daily, not going for big power at the moment, want a fun daily i know that im going to be fixing things, will always happen when increasing power. I also understand that upgraded twins will have a lot of torque and can cause more stress on the motor and tranny. Previous owner also replaced hpfp, valve cover gasket, waterpump & a few other things so not too worried on that. Going to replace my rear main seal this weekend along with putting in a xclutch solid organic twin disk, besides the rear main seal, motor has no leaks, and in the time that ive had this car, motor has been solid and car hasnt given me any major issue. Biggest thing that came up was my msd80 ecu burnt up the mosfet so upgraded to msd81 ecu. Im replacing gaskets and getting it walnut blasted.
Have a few questions for you guys

Have a few questions for you guys
- Ive been thinking about Docvu Tuning or JSR Tuning, ive heard good things about both which one would you guys recommend ?
- For those who daily upgraded twins what psi do you guys run ?
- I changed my spark plugs in April and havent had any issues with misfires or anything, but a while back i heard its better to run 2 step colder for upgraded twins and/or single turbo setup, should i get the 2 step colder ?
- Ive seen online the turbo replacement job takes 10 hours and ive heard it takes longer, im not too worried about it but was wondering how long did it take most of you ?
- Currently on stock radiator, runs perfect no cracks or leaks, i never hear about upgrading the radiator, i was looking at the csf aluminum one, how many of you are on stock radiator w/ upgraded turbos, should i just upgrade so i dont have to deal either it later ?
- What kind of oil temps do you guys usually see when cruising or when doing pulls ?
Kinda long I know lol, but just trynna get as much info on this like like i said just want a fun daily driver, any advice is appreciated thank you
