Turbo prep questions

[Bimmer_man]

So I will be turbocharging my iX and i want to know what are some areas that need reinforcing i know the front driveshaft but thats about it. If you have any input in what can break on the iX let me know.

my set up will be 7 -10 psi dd and 15-18 track.

Front diff, depending on your driving.

I thought you were doing an s54?

[Bimmer_man]

I picked up an ix so no s54 for that. And what about the Diff?

That's bad ass but way too much work. I'm happy with a m20 turbo in the ix.

I highly recommend you do all the maintenance stuff on the car first before you turbo it, such as check the guibos and ball joints and things like that.
Adding power will only expose weak areas, you should be ok as long as you don't launch or abuse the car via hard shifts. its a fairly robust drive-train but like anything its not a fan of shock load.

Well i got the car practically all taken apart so the normal maintenance stuff will be done. I even got the Gates racing belt. So that stuff will be all taken care of.
