Boge Turbos - do I need bumpstops?
Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:24 pm
Hi,
I am just about to fit Boge Turbo's (GSFsupplied) to my 325i Coupe, along with a brand new set of BMW supplied mtech springs. Does anybody know whether the turbos have internal bump stops (like Bilstein b8's)?
I have some brand new OEM bump stops, but the shaft of the turbos is wider than standard shocks, so was wondering if I need them.
Also, I have some genuine BM dust boots too. I guess the dust boot goes over the shock/strut first, followed by the bump stop on top?
Finally, I am also going to fit another set of the same Boge Turbos to my 325i cab, which is currently on OEM dampers and eibach (35mm) springs. Any recommendations on whether I can use the stock bump stops, or whether I should shorten them (and if so, by how much)
Thanks
Steve
