Gen1 B58 turbo replacement question
Hey all,
So yesterday I had my turbo go out on my 2016 340i. Currently a BM3 stage 1. I had it towed to my family owned repair shop. I'm hoping to get some guidance.
- Rebuild if possible
- OEM with a at cost discount on parts, turbo alone is still 3k+
- A stage 1 pure turbo kit which was approx 2500.
I'm exploring a rebuild but the shop I called didn't seem too confident that it was possible so I'm exploring a few options.
The pure kit seems nice but the family shop while a specialist bmw shop doesn't typically do aftermarket items. So wouldn't be willing to dive into fabrication, major turning.
I also rather stay away from ebay turbos and unknown brands.
My question is would the pure kit make sense for me? Are there options I'm not considering like just a turbo only replacement? Also I'm in California so if I go aftermarket am I doomed to struggle with smog?
In all if I get gains cool but to be honest I just want to get my car back. I'm prepared to go the OEM route if that ends up being the way to go.
