Hi
Great site mate!!!
Just ordering what the process is for getting a edge tune?
Currently I have a jb4 and backend flash e85 manual map from bimmer boost, running 50% e85 and 50% 98 ron
Would you recommend the wedge flash? Can you explain it a little please?
Thanks
Love the site!!!
Hi Jason,
Wedge no longer offers backend flashes to be used with JB4. He utilizes MHD tuning now.
Feel free to send him an email: wedgeperformance@gmail.com with any questions!
How did you do the blow off valve mod? $2 lol?

Do you have the specs on the LM rep wheels? I really want to go 265 or 255 rear though.
Front: 18×8 ET 35 – 215/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12
Rear: 18×9 ET 40 – 245/35/18 Hankook Ventus V12
Lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit (~1″ drop all-around)
Hello,
Wonderful overview of your car!
What would be the cheapest option to obtain around 600hp? (more if possible with a slightly larger turbo)
Are there a lot of supporting mods required for that?
Any suggestions for a ‘budget’ power build?
Thanks
Hi Mason!
Supporting mods depend on how far you want to go.
I’d suggest PURE Turbo’s budget cast option: https://bit.ly/2yqh1ei
Once you get those, you can find a list of supporting mods in my other blog post here: https://my1series.com/2018/07/26/best-n54-single-turbo-kit-for-bmw-335i-or-135i/
Hey jake, where did you get your heat shield plate that’s in between the turbo blanket and coil packs?
Hi Elijah, it’s actually just an old license plate that I bent up and wrapped with heat wrap.
Hi brother, I was Just wondering if you had replaced the brake caliper on your vehicle (BMW 135i) and if you have, what did you replace them with and what do you recommend ?
Hi, I am still using the stock brake calipers, with these pads and rotors: https://amzn.to/2qKFWVA
