watch out for the EKPM3 gremlins. They tend not to like the voltage draw for some cars.

ziekxq · 01-26-2019, 07:58 PM

No problem so far.

ziekxq · 02-09-2019, 12:07 PM

Where did you get special tool to remove pump?

ziekxq · 02-11-2019, 11:09 AM

I didnt do it all my self... my bmw mechanic friend who works at a shop has all the tools.

ziekxq · 02-11-2019, 06:57 PM

Car will be on the lift tomorrow to get everything installed.

I have decided to use twisted tuning as my tuner of choice with MHD Flasher.

paul223 · 02-11-2019, 08:35 PM

Please take many many pics of turbo install.

Ran into issue. Old coolant lines from old turbo didnt wanted to come out, so now I have to order new coolant lines. Dont want to risk having coolant leak.

Recommendations:
Get new turbo coolant lines.

If you are doing DIY for LPFP than also get this along with the fuel pump: https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/pr...fp-hosekit.htm

Custom turbo inlet pipe on xdrive is not direct fit and need some modifications.

Intercooler was super tight fit.

I will have the car back tomorrow as the coolant lines will be replaced by than.

Everything is installed, MHD flasher done, and got my base map. All I can say so far is that car feels good. Throttle is more responsive. I think current base map is only set to 15 psi to see how car is doing overall. Once I receive the revised map, I will post some logs. IAT dont move much when WOT so intercooler is doing its job as advertised. WDGC so far dont exceed more than 40 percent so custom inlet doing its job.

Also, I found out my downpipe is from VRSF.

Did you have correct hardware to screw down your vrsf intercooler? Pics how you screwed it down please.. Lot of us got wrong hardware to mount are f10 intercooler.. Thx

Nope, the hardware that came with the intercooler was incorrect. My mechanic knows how to weld stuff, so he was able to make his own hardware for the intercooler on the fly.
