Pure Turbos Stage 1 M177 Turbo Upgrade - dyno and slips
Saw some pretty exciting stuff coming from Pure Turbos. Stage 1 turbo upgrade (saw $2995 + core) making 634 WHP 608 WTQ on 93 octane with downpipes and a catback and ran 10.7 @ 131 MPH
I ran 130 without turbo upgrade so I'm going to give this a big PASS.
Dime might have something going on.
You ran a 130mph 1/4 mile pass in a c63 on stock turbos? With what mods?
Considering you can take a stock car and get everything you need to run this for less then any of the others turbos alone I think it's very worth it. I would do it in a second if I didn't have to run downpipes with the upgraded setup

Really add some clarity, you have a AMG GT tuned. This is a C63 board I have no doubt you wouldnt come close to 130 with your tune in a C63= just saying.
I mean I wouldn't doubt it; they did no single turbo conversions on the BMW N54 engines. Joke will be on him when the engine blows up. LOL
Are you talking about the factory reversion to single turbo ie. N55 ?
If so that also incorporated many other mechanical/technical changes to support similar overall air flow without sacrificing response or lag and main reason BMW went that route is because of the problems (and supply issues) they were having with the N54's Japanese supplied twin turbos.
If your talking about single turbo aftermarket conversions on the N54 disregard the above
Im just about to purchase Eurocharged Stage 2 tune but now seriously considering Stage 3 tune and these Pure Turbos.
Im sure it's coming but more info would be helpfull.
My thoughts are that there will need to be a custom tune. Unless these are replicas of turbos that are already on the market for this platform.
Also downpipes would be a must. If the turbos were being replaced, would the downpipe still have to be cut out? Or would the extra room of having the turbos out allow the downpipes to slip out.

These are OEM turbos with upgraded compressor wheels, not replicas (this is why you need to send in your turbos or pay the $6500 core charge).
Removing turbos does not make the downpipe install any easier. The DP's are v-banded at the turbo, so it's actually very easy to disconnect from the top. The problem is that you cannot snake the downpipes out without a) cutting them in half or b) dropping the transmission.
Oddly enough, a turbo swap looks to be much easier than installing downpipes on this platform.
