VIDEO: BMW 135i Build Update
I decided to try something a little different. It’s been a while since I’ve shared an update, so I busted out the camera and filmed a vlog style video!
I’ve decided to ditch the MMP turbos in exchange for a Doc Race single turbo kit. As you can see, the Doc Race N54 Single Turbo kit is awesome. If you’re thinking about going the same route (which I would highly encourage), be sure to use discount code N54JAKE at checkout to save $100.
PS: YouTube just changed their monetization policy and now requires 1,000 subscribers to be eligible for ad revenue. I’m only at 711 subscribers, can you help me by subscribing to my channel?

I promise it’ll be worth it! I have some cool videos on there about my 135i and will be posting tons of videos once I have my new Doc Race 6266 single turbo kit installed!
