old turbo chargers

Bentley2012 · 01-08-2015, 01:43 PM

Just curious;

is there any reason to keep a pair of old turbo chargers from an N54? I had mine replaced (335i) over the summer and due to some hiccups, ended up with two, non matching turbos (one is from a 135i allegedly, the other from a 335i). Im not even sure if they operate properly. Is there any reason they shouldnt find their way to the trash?

Use as cores for turbo upgrades.

Both turbos are bad? and ask around a lot of tech guys like to buy em to use for pilot projects

I sold my old ones for $200. RB and some others charges a $300 core charge, so they are useful to people as cores. Especially if they want minimal downtime.

It would help if you can confirm what they actually are. I know the 135i ones are much more desirable for cores than the 335i as there are less of them available.

Sell on eBay. Someone will need them for parts or a core.
