Lightning's Pure Turbo Build
Hi guys,
Greetings from Singapore! The 1M has been my daily drive for the past 4 years. It has been a great journey together with my car. There are so many reasons to keep the 1M but lets not digress into it. Bottom line, i love this car to bits. Well, after 159,000km (YES, 159,000KM) daily driven miles and my constant interest on the potential of the N54, it is time to take a little courage and leap of faith to embark on a new chapter To start off, the car will be fitted with Stage 2 Pure Turbos with supporting aftermarket parts. In the next couple of weeks i'll do my best to document this process as much as i can as well as the work done on the car. My motive is to start a informative discussion for those who are looking to turn their 1M into a bigger ///Monster.. Do also let me know if you have anything to chip in, i'd be more than happy to hear and we can talk it out, it will definitely help! (well, more information wouldn't hurt i guess) Stay tuned!

I'm hoping for the pure s2's in the near future. How come you decided to go with cobb instead of jb4 though?
