I believe it is for durability and may help sustain boost but no real power is added from it. If someone has more knowledge please correct me if i am wrong

I asked the same question and all it does is add durability. I'm waiting on the VTT stage 2s to come out. All of their turbos come with the upgraded thrust. |

From another forum. Personally, I'm coming up on 2 years with Rob's turbos installed. Fantastic product, great transaction. Just make sure you use a quality installer. Mine were installed by a BMW mechanic doing some side work. Replace the gaskets at the end of the turbo air inlet tubes during install.

Yea you should be fine. The RB thrust components are already pretty beefy. Get it done right and don’t abuse the crap out of it, there’s no reason for upgraded thrust parts IMO.

http://www.rbturbo.com/products/accessories/rbgasket Go to realoem,com and put in your car model and production month and year to be sure the part numbers listed at Rob's site are appropriate for your car. On the intake gaskets, they are listed in white on Rob's list: 13712247398 13717568029 So I went to realoem.com and for my 335 4/2007 build it matches those numbers. Do the same thing for your 135. When you are selecting areas to browse on realoem.com choose Fuel Preparation System and Intake Muffler, then choose the diagram below called Air Duct. An example for my 335 shows parts #2 and #10 in this diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...84&hg=13&fg=20 Hope that helps. |

basic kit is fine, although I would replace water pump/thermostat while you have it apart.
