Hey Folks,

I recently installed Torcoils 17Ts ( https://torcoils.com/de/products/td...bmw-335i-335is-335xi-e90-e91-e92-n54-b30-3.0l ) only after a few pulls, car started smoking. As per attached log my boost dropped und wgdc sky rocked above 6k. I suspect that my inlet/s collapsed and forced the turbos to overspin.



I did not dropped my downpipes yet but will do soon. I assume that at least one shaft seal is blown or even the rotary lost it's integrity.



I am not sure what to do šŸ˜” Do you think VIV 17T cartridges ( https://vivautoparts.com/products/t...i-3-0l-n54b30-oem-size?variant=42086719291567 ) do match my turbo housing? Would a rebuild kit be the way (of course only if compressor wheel and turbine are still intact) to go or do I need new turbos?


Log


Thanks

Tobias

Why not contact Torcoils directly? On social media, they're touting their products as good. But these ignition coils burn out, the upgraded oil cooler is extremely poorly finished... Now it's the turbos that are smoking.
