Nathan is the wrench behind the Powershift and he’s also taken on one of the coolest projects we’ve ever had. Our buddy Bruce has a very clean E90 335i that is quite extensively modified. Upgraded twin turbos, big fat intercooler, the whole nine yards.
Seeking more power meant he had to go more extreme. So he went ahead and ordered an MFactory limited slip differential and a large single turbo kit. Nathan was commissioned to do the build and here’s where we are on it.
The turbo and manifold are assembled and mounted on the engine. Here’s an excerpt on the experiences Nathan has had. I asked him to text me a basic synopsis of the troubles he’s faced. Here goes.
Stay tuned for more updates. Here’s links to the YouTube.

I love this post! The car looks amazing. Is the roof in carbon fiber or was it wrapped?

Thank you :) I do believe that it’s actually painted.

With the right turbo, and ethanol, it should run like 600 to the tire.

That’s precisely what he’s wanting.

Jst want to point out the worst part about the water pump for me was that you can’t see that damn top bolt. I believe I used a 3/8" to 1/4" socket adapter, a swivel and a 3" extension to get it out. Could be wrong though. That was years ago. Those pumps almost always go bad at around 60K miles so if the car is near that may just wanna replace it while it's out.
