Can you name a single person that has blown their turbos (w/ proof) because of the tune? I'm on e90 a lot and I can MAYBE count one or two (and it wasn't tune related ) It was oil starvation from a faulty line to the turbo. He knew it was bad and had problems with it in the past. Seriously though, the stuff you spew is what leads to these "zomg" rumors.
