Hi!
Is it possible to install the turbine from the 535d to 530d make it all work properly?
Someone has done this already?

Not to sound like a jerk - but anythings possible if you put enough money into it. It would be quite expensive to get the turbo system parts AND ECU reprogramming done.

i would imagine it is possable as they both share the same 3ltr engine.

The only difference is in the pistons and in some small things, but I think this is possible, I think this is the same price with the cost of a turbo for 535

Too much work. Just get a bigger VNT and 535d injectors you can make big power easy enough.

Big VNT- is big turbo? 535 injectors and remap?
This dangerous for engine?
