Pure Turbos N55 single turbo upgrade

e36addict · 12-11-2014, 09:59 PM

Any plans to do dyno runs to see any difference with the inlet pipe? I really want one because I know how flimsy and small the stock one is, but that's a big chunk of cash for something that may not do anything.. prove me wrong Pure! I want one lol

It will for sure add gains. maybe not a lot but it'll improve throttle response.

my guess is 5-8hp..

Why do you want to have this piping in black? You won't see it from the top of the engine bay anyways...

Exactly you can't even see it lol! Mine is silver and I cannot see it

I thought it was visible if you look down in towards the turbo along the side of the shock tower. I keep my engine bay low key so it looks factory under the hood.

If ceramic coated or PC wrinkle black it'll help with heat no?

Schmidty335i · 12-12-2014, 12:35 PM

Iam also interested in this for sure! are you guys going to keep some in stock locally for customers in the area and if so when would they be avaliable? another question is, does anyone here know if anyone makes a custome charge pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler inlet? its the only part that is plastic left between the turbo and my throttle body. it looks very restrictive also.

I don't think heat is an issue at this area of the air intake system.

It won't get hot being right next to the exhaust manifold

I think the impact of the ceramic coating will be minimal.

My concern over color is not whether or not I can see it, and it needs to look cool, it is more of a warranty thing. If it is black it will less likely be noticed, and used as fodder to deny any potential warranty claims.

If you're worried about warranty it takes 10 mins to install/uninstall.....just take it off

Why don't you paint it black? If it isn't offered in black. Wouldn't take much.

Hi Pure,

Will it work with RHD vehicles? (Your turbo inlet pipe)

Hi Sir,

According to the BMW catalog, it appears it does fit RHD cars. For confirmation, please PM us the last 7 of your VIN.

Thanks
