This thread will be covering my S54 turbo build that is being completed at Bimmer Performance Center. The goal of this set up is not to shoot for super high horse power, but to focus more on a quick spool and reliability. This all started when my head gasket failed between cylinders 4 and 5. The head was pulled and completely refreshed as well as having a thicker Vacmotorsports head gasket installed. I also opted to go with Arp rod bolts and Arp head studs.
