Does anyone know if there are any companies working on anything for the N20 equipped 228i? I've seen parts for the M235i coming out like crazy, but the 228i seems to be kind of forgotten. JB4 and an AFE intake seems to be the only options for anyone who has opted to buy a 228i.

I'm currently working with a company based out of Canada for a turbo upgrade for my 228i. The manufacturer is expecting 40% + increase in power after the full bolt ons, tune, meth and e85.

In other words, about 170hp per liter, assuming the car isn't overrated from the factory? I guess you're not worried about the warranty...

I don't have much respect for warranty

Is it an entire turbo replacement or just a turbine wheel swap with the same housing?

340 whp (170 per liter) is respectable, but with a turbo upgrade, full bolt ons, meth, e85 and a tune I feel like that number is on the lower side.

It's the same turbo housing that has been machined on the inside and has bigger internals.
