Hey fellas hope all is well. I have been having problems with a turbo installation on my brothers 2011 E70 X5M, and my shop does not seem like they are able to solve this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions for a shop in the fort lauderdale/miami area that has extensive experience working on turbos and custom tunes? Here is my thread I posted on Xbimmers to explain the issue we are having.

So his car started going into limp mode, took it to my shop to see whats going on. Turns out one of the turbos was missing the wastegate, apparently it somehow fell off and disappeared. I should note, that the turbos are upgraded turbos from Turbo Labs. Now the previous owner had that job done, and based on the reviews of Turbo Labs I did not have any faith contacting them to get things resolved. So we went and got the Pure Turbos Stage 1 kit from ECS.

After installing the turbos, my shop told me that they are having issues with one turbo not holding pressure on Bank 1. They did all the troubleshooting, checked actuators, did boost pressure test with the proper equipment, checked vacuum lines running at 11.5", and all that other fun stuff. Then my shop was in contact with Chuck at Pure Turbos and did everything he told them to do and troubleshooted remotely, still no resolve.

At that point, we decided to send in the one turbo that is not holding pressure to Pure Turbos for an inspection. Well, after being charged a service fee for a warranty inspection (lol), they told us that the turbo is in perfect working order and they found no issues.

So now, I turn to you fine gentlemen to give me any other troubleshooting ideas.

I should note, the car is stock aside from some VRSF catless downpipes. One thing I was told from Pure Turbos is that these turbos need to be running on a car with a tune, and this car has no tune. So if that is true, can you guys give me some advice on what tune you guys prefer? Someone also told me that the car does not need to be tuned to run Stage 1 turbos from Pure Turbos... so getting contradicting information here. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks!
