Here is why Chinese 17T 335i turbos are the best option for power and reliability

Just like the title says guys, you wont believe how much power BMW 335i made with 17t turbos. We got some flames as well!!!

[@in54ne82]

Great video! A healthy stock fuel pump on the v5 e40 can handle that map easily I don't know why people think a walbro 450 etc will make more power. If the lpfp holds 55 to 60psi minimum that's all it needs. The video is the proof for that... The only issue is that the pump will fail quicker than a e85 approved pump, you just need to keep an eye on the logs.

I've had 17t's on my n54 e92 for 2 years, pushing 536whp and 530wtq, and they've had no issues. So for me they been pretty great for what they cost. I've been running V5 E40 OTS as well. I really need to get a custom tune though. And so y'all know, I've had my car for 7 years and my car has got 154k miles and I drive the crap out of it, been the best car I've ever owned and I have an F90 M5 and I still prefer my 335i.
