BMW 135i Pure Turbos Pure600 Review

[Velocity+]

Hi Guys,

Please check out a video I made about the driving impressions of my Pure Turbos 135i.

Don't know if you mentioned it in the video, can't watch right now because at work haha but I was wondering if anyone can explain to me the differences between the pure stage 2 and the pure600s, any technical specs or configurations, any differences between the two.

Thanks!

in short,
Pure stage 2 is for the n55
pure 600 is for the n54

I hope that helps

I don't think that's the case.


pure600 is their cheap China line offering, which is what the guy is running in the video. From what I've heard, He's had issues with these


pure stage 2 DD and high flow still use OEM housings.

According to Pure, the cast housings of the pure600s are made in China but the internals are made in the US and the turbos assembled and balanced by Pure in the US. That being said, Pure stage 2 DD and high flow are better if you are aiming for over 600 whp. However, pure600s spool faster.

I haven't had any issues with the turbos themselves but one of the oem oil drain lines collapsed. Also, as I mentioned in the video, I had to change a lot of older parts to get the car running perfectly.

One of the purposes of this video was to let people know that upgrading the turbos on a 10 year old N54 can be a headache because many of the car's components are starting to wear out and need replacing $$$$
