Shuenk N20+ Turbo Upgrade for N20/N26
I recently had the N20+ upgraded turbo installed in my 2015 328i xdrive and it's a game changer. Purchase of the turbo comes with a tuning rebate from Navardi, who specializes in tuning N20/N26 engines. With the upgraded turbo and Navardi custom tune dialed in, my car is a completely different beast pulling super hard through all gears with minimal turbo lag and a huge bump in power.
A lot of times the N20/N26 platform gets overlooked for performance upgrades, so I was happy to see a new product released specifically for our engines. Just figured it was worth a post to let people know about a new upgraded turbo! Last edited by rcaso26; 09-13-2023 at 09:11 AM.. Reason: adding picture |

I'm still logging and dialing in the custom tune with Navardi, but I'll post a dyno chart here if I ever take it to the dyno.
I've had my 328 for over 5 years now and was either going to sell it or make some major upgrades to make it more fun to drive. Along with the turbo and custom tune, I also replaced the timing chain/guides, installed a GoFastBits diverter valve and flashed the transmission with xHP. These upgrades have made a drastic change in the overall performance of the car. |

Great feedback, as noted please post dyno sheet and 1/4 mile slip if you plan to document your newfound power on paper! Should make for exciting results with your upgrades.

It makes 320-330 whp on 93. Anyone who has actually tuned with it likes the shift in power band as it “peaks power higher”, but it’s not a “super turbo” that it was heavily marketed to be. This turbo spools drastically slower than stock/MHI/Dinan/pure stage 2/TTE400.
“N20+ turbo” 18 psi at 3500 rpm TTE 18 psi at 2800 rpm for comparison. Stock turbo makes 300-305whp on GOOD 93 octane with custom tune. A MHI turbo/stage 1 turbo (none of these are honestly worth it unless you need a new turbo for the $$$) is faster than this turbo in a straight line or quarter mile due to spool + torque + powerband. Dyno sheets are on the website, last 2 photos. Please note the one that says 333whp, was a built motor + a cam mod (bimmermilvs) so you can remove 5-6whp (my own testing with bimmermilvs) from that number for comparison to other dynos seen and shared to be an apples to apples comparison. https://shuenk.com/N20-for-BMW-N20-&-N26-p509466020

Measure the power on Maha Dyno, this is the brand they use in BMW factory. It is not "happy" Dyno and that's why a lot of people do not like it, but the results are 100% real
