Hi
I have a situation which needs to be cleaned up asap. Owned my BMW for just over a year now and I treat it like the queen lol. 530d never given me problems until now The turbo is leaking internally which has now gone into the exhaust causing it to smoke like its a rocket going into space. I know i must remove the catalytic converter as thats kaput should we say lol. I currently have remapped the car to 244bhp and fitted a K&N air filter. As a retired mechanic I do most of the work myself when I can e.g. servicing as I dont trust many with my vehicle.
The actual thread is for a hybrid turbo. I have been reading up and understand a hybrid turbo can possibly boost the car upto 300bhp I am a family man therefore an M5 is not an option as it would kill me in petrol. I love my diesel and I love this car. I am planning on fitting a decat exhaust also when I have made a choice on the hybrid or oem turbo. What i would like to know is whether the hybrid turbo will give me those figures and how much roughly am i looking at? Also will my oem injectors be good enough to handle the hybrid turbo?
thankyou in advance!!!
