Hi there, I’m planning to buy a 2011 335i with N55 engine. There is a little wastegate rattle on the cold start that goes away but I’d personally fix it if I buy the car. What are my options? Will I have to replace the entire turbo assembly or can it be repaired?
Hi Alex, unfortunately you will have to pull the turbo to change out the waste gate bushing assembly. These are very tricky to do and require very good tolerances to avoid failure.
Nothing but great things to say about TPC. Proud owner of their N54 Stage 2 turbos. A fantastic product, and yes... NO WASTEGATE RATTLE! Thanks nick.
How are they holding up? Psi?
two years in, not too many miles but substantial use. currently at 26.5 psi@@KingKhu0ng

These guys are a ripoff!! They even want you to pay for just their price list
