Pure Stage 1 turbo Question

BoostedBarrett · 05-30-2018, 01:37 PM

I have a 2012 135 DCT with larger Intercooler, catless DP, MHD stage 2 custom tune.

I have 66k miles on the current stock turbo. Since my motor is being rebuilt, I was thinking I should get my stock turbo upgraded to Pure Stage 1 so that I didn't have to worry about a turbo going out in my near future. Does anyone know what Hp on pump gas i should see with my mods and a pure stage 1 turbo on 91 octane?

How many miles can you expect out of stock turbo running a tune?

Are there any other mods I have to do other than the turbo to make it work well. Injectors or fuel?

I have no idea, but care to share why you are rebuilding your motor?

Previous owner had overheated motor and repaired it with stop leak. I didn't find out until later when it started misfiring and took it to the shop.

~430-450WHP depending on mods and tuning.

We do recommend basic bolt ons, intake, downpipes, intercooler(FMIC). There are no replacements for injectors at this time and they have plenty of ceiling room for stage 1 turbo upgrades.

Yikes, bummer. Is it a crazy expensive rebuild?

damn, that's how much motors seem to go for on ebay.

Used motors with 50k plus. When mine is done it will be completely redone, so pretty much a new motor.
