PureTurbos Stage 2 installed

Movado750 · 06-30-2022, 12:26 PM

Do the Pure turbos make a better sound?

TTV8M · 07-09-2022, 04:25 PM

Catted DP would definitely sound good but I'd assume it would sound even better with the pure turbos

Anyone look into the new GTX turbos as shown by RK autoworks?

From what I heard and read in 100 different places, IMO, the stage 1 pure tubos upgrade wasn't as awesome and awe inspiring as the stage 2. Not that I'm talking it up, but for the money your coughing up for stage 1 to get a little bit of an upgrade vs stage 2 which seems like much more bang for the buck.

Still stuck with our shop build waiting for the coated main journal bearings to come in. Must be that "slow boat from China" lol

Agreed. I was also told my Active Autoworke that the pure stage 1 turbos don't have that much lifetime and burn out quicker.

im getting a little annoyed from issues finding parts for this engine rebuild. is 12 years old too old? just the 41 replacement m8x20 oil pan bolts @ 2.26 on bimmerworld.com were the best i could find since bmw discontinued them. im using realoem.com for schematics and part numbers, then searching bmwpartshub.com, fcpeuro.com, ecstuning.com, and eeuroparts.com.

sorry, i just wanted to whine/complain. (good ol' M tax)

even these fuel injectors at $435 each x 8. lol i better get another job

Umm the injectors were $435 each? I got index 12 injectors and I know I did not pay that much for them.

I should have my Stage 2 turbos installed over the weekend and back to the shop to have all fluids replaced and the first start up with th brand new engine and all the upgrades I did over the last year.

Can't wait...

When and where did you buy your index 12s? I'm shopping them out the past few weeks and you would think they were made of gold at these prices.

I bought mine about 9 months ago from ECStunning.com I con't remember what I paid but it was not $435 each. not even close to that. I thing the whole set was $1250.

TTV8M · 07-15-2022, 02:31 PM

yeh u got good pricing compared to the insanity today. ECS is one of the higher ones at $539 each.

maybe its cause its made in Italy and the EURO went down significantly, I think its 1:1 with the US dollar at this point

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...h/13538616079/

best i found so far was $431.68 at

I paid $288/each for my index 12 injectors from FCPeuro last August.

TTV8M · 07-18-2022, 12:49 PM

Yeh sounds about right. The question for me now becomes ........do I wait them out or are they waiting me out....... Lol

TTV8M · 07-21-2022, 09:15 PM

Im starting to see a trend that Pure Turbos has no real gains. This is another post that someone invested the $5k and got almost nothing out of it.

Dawgz pure stage 2 couldn't get him over 510whp. "Maybe it was my transmission, I don't know. I had it up to 18-20psi." - this is really concerning for anyone that really buys into their claims..

Now, this is shocking, I and someone really smart offered to give flow data on these turbos, and real gains, if they work, and no reply from Pure Turbos, nothing, radio silent. You could be literally paying 5k for them to machine the turbos and about 100 bucks worth of parts..

Be careful of anyone buying into turbo upgrades, so far the data shows that it doesn't produce much unless you do other important upgrades.
