Dinan N20 "Big Turbo"

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet or not, but looks like Dinan has a "Big Turbo" upgrade for the N20 https://www.dinancars.com/product/D3...ries&mid=1182/



The webpage doesn't list compatibility with the E84 X1, but there can't be much difference in engine layout between our cars and the F30 3 series.

Isn't that kind of pushing the engine past what it can do before kaput?

How much is the gap in cost between 28 and 35 trim levels? Seems like getting the 35 for a more robust start point is better

N55 + piggyback would get over that 345hp and it would be a lightly modded car (i.e. All else equal more reliable)

I was wondering about that as well. It does have the Dinan name to back it up, and they continue to honour the warranty, so my guess is it's not beyond what the engine can handle. Probably not comfortably though to get that much of a boost

True, but I think the 28i M-Sport is the best overall package. The lightness over the front axle really makes it an awesome car, especially with the 8spd auto. I love my N55, but the 28i I test drove was huge fun despite the lower power.

345hp in a 28i would be killer on a track!

I checked the install instructions and it lists removal of the water pump as one of the steps. I'm hoping my water pump will at least last another 50K miles, but when it goes out and needs to be replaced, it couldn't be too much more work to replace the stock turbo with this at the same time.

yea, ~350hp in a ~3500lb car that's well setup would definitely be fun

But that said I have test driven n20 X1, z4 and 3er and each time have gone with n54/n55. Guess I am hooked on more power and I6 sound?
