Thinking of upgrading to the PS2 this fall...any thoughts on reliability? My stock turbo is at 100K and still working fine...how long can I expect the PS2 to go before refurbishment assuming DD + 10 track days a year (no drag racing). Interested in people's real world experience. Thx.

Part of the reliability equation is how hard you are planning to run the turbo. I am mostly around 70-80% duty cycle, so I am not pushing max boost. But my whp is probably around 450ish, and at that hp level the turbo has been running great. One thing I really like about Pure Turbos is they are continually trying to make the turbo better. Since I purchased my turbo, I believe they have made some additional tweaks to gain more power. I hope this helps. |

Great thread. Was the issue with the car shutting down when hot (voltage spiking) ever figured out? Plan on installing one of these turbos on my wife's track car over the winter, we want to make ~450whp. Car is used almost exclusively for hillclimb/track use. Haven't had those issues with the stock turbo, so far.

A lot of people run Delphi’s with great results. I think we just got defective units. I put my stock coils back in with 35k on them and not one issue. |

Yeah I was. Out octane sucks so that was the main reason. If you have 93 octane or highe I feel like you can get there if you have the older style e series HPFP.
Meth is awesome as long as you consistently verify everything is in check. No leaks, tank is full, etc. But right now I am running an octane booster with no meth and am able to run the same boost and timing without meth.

I have the early hpfp with a lifetime warranty so I’m looking to push its limits. What numbers do you think I can get with strictly e30 and let’s say US 91 oct? Are you saying I can dump octane booster and try to achieve the same numbers? Meth looks a lil complicated to me and it would also mean I would have to buy a separate tune from wedge so I just wanna stick with a kill and daily map. |

You should be able to using boostane. I should probably update the first post at some point lol. Here is my latest log using boostane to get to 99 octane.

It really was! Scared the crap out of me haha.
Small update. Installed a PI kit so I can up the e85 content and turn up the boost. Still dialing the fueling but she is absolutely flying right now. This is on e50. Planning to work my way up to 100% e85. https://datazap.me/u/houtan/rev5-hig...8-15-18&solo=8

Thanks. She is running even faster now with PI. Absolute blast to drive. I am taking her to the canyons for the first time to see how the PI does while taking corners and constant changes in acceleration/braking.

Great write up. I want to do this upgrade as well. For those of you having issues with car going into limp mode at WOT, I had the same issue. Spent money on chasing the problem and it never got fixed. It wasn't until I came across a post that talked about the type of coil packs he was using. Apparently back then delphi made all the coil packs for bmw. The ones he and I was using were the ones that were made in China. The BMW coil packs were made in Portugal at the time. So I switched back to my old coil packs and never had that issue again. The issue was with the insufficient insulation of the china made coil packs. Spark would escape and run straight to the alternator causing it to spike and shorting it out. I since switched to the Precision Race Works coil setup and all is well. Haven't had an issue since.

Yeah, thank god for those posts! I figured out my issue the same way. No issues on stock coil packs with 50k miles on them. I did get another set of Delphi’s, this time from fcp, so I am covered if they end up defective. Crossing my fingers they aren’t.

So long story short, no issues durability wise with either diff. Performance gains with lsd and coding.

Small update I realized I never shared after I just posted it in a different thread. Pure sells a HD wastegate that had solid gains with the ps2.
Here are the logs. Same tune. Only difference is stock vs Pure HD WG. I think I gained 2-3 psi at the similar WGDC. Which is awesome. Stock WG log: https://datazap.me/u/houtan/stock-wg...0&data=3-14-25 Pure HD WG log: https://datazap.me/u/houtan/aftermar...0&data=3-14-25
