Turbo :(
Well 120k and the turbo has died on my e90 320d sounding like a siren, iv read on here there sh!t turbos an was wondering if one off a lci would fit? Or even one off of a 330d or are the lci different because mines a 163bhp and thats a 177?. Would a 330 turbo be too big? cheers taylor

Fitting a bigger turbo will at best cause your car to overheat and at worst melt the block.
There is more to it than just bolting it in. Feel bad for you. There are many threads on here with regards refurbished turbos or repairs which is what I'd recommend you do. Do you know if it is the mitsubishi turbo again?

Yes. But it's a 318d and according to Real OEM the turbo is a different part number so I'm hoping they last longer.
Funnily enough, I got held up on the way to work this morning by a 320d that had died in the outside lane of the Clyde Expressway. |

I remember as a boy people use to say BMW's with 100k are just running in and do triple that.
Have the run of the mill cars caught up or have BMW's gone backwards.

The Mitsi turbo (TF035HL6b-13TB-VG) CANNOT be rebuilt reliably. The Garrets can as Garret supply the parts. Mitsi dont and you have to "stoop" to Chinese parts and they just are not up to it apparently.
I have been told this by Turbo Technics and a few other players (big and small), they wont touch them as they keep coming back. Midland Turbo did offer but advised upwards of 500 ish to do so because of the complex nature of the VNT in the housing on these. Replacing seals and bearings is piss easy on them, ANY work on the housing is pointless IMO. They can be had for 700 + vat but there is no stock at all in UK/Europe......trust me. I tried. Seemingly, Mitsubishi make just enough to keep BMW stocked. Every BMW dealership I phoned had one on the shelf ffs. If you can afford it (which i couldnt) just go to BMW and buy one, remember they need your old one or you get stung more. Ours went at 94K and my St. Paddys day will be consumed replacing it + oil + filters + removing and inspecting the sump etc etc Good luck Andy |

Also,
They might be a bit scarce for a good while now with the unfortunate events in Japan. While the factories may not have been directly affected, transportation problems, power loss, staff issues etc will have its toll Nor do you want a turbo that glows green and sets of geiger counters everywhere Buy one from BMW J |
