Just bought Pure 800 Cast Turbo

Antwan340i · 09-23-2022, 10:12 PM

Hey guys! I wanted to make this post to keep up with and hopefully answer a few questions for people along the way. Quick backstory. I have had my 2017 340i for almost 2 years now. I have 52500 roughly on it, and I do daily it 20 miles a day. I am currently on Stage 2 + bootmod3 (93 octane). Anyway, I've been looking at turbos for about 6 months now, I have watched Kern's youtube videos over and over trying to decide if it's worth it, what turbo to get, it is reliable…etc. Well yesterday my tuner, who is a good friend of mine reached out to me, and well talked me into buying the new pure 800 cast turbo, and I did. So here we are. My install date is the 28th of October, and I should have the car back first week of November. I was unsure if I wanted to do Vargas GC, Daw, or pure. So I guess pure it is, I will be doing a custom tune on 93 pump ONLY. So that will answer a lot of questions out there, and my goal is 550whp. So I will keep this updated as a go! Thanks for reading!

Hey man, I do. It's about 20 minutes, so it's definitely something I can do later down the road. I do have the upgraded fuel pump, stage 1. I had a WRX on a E50 mix before this car. I just got really tired of driving 20 minutes for gas. So I bought the VP 6 gallon tanks, but I really wanna test out a straight 93 tune first to see how the car does.

Good topic! Good luck!

My current mods are the following:

CTS Intake
Stage 1 Fuel Pump from Dorch
Vsrf Catless Downpipe
Awe Tuning Exhaust and Midpipe
and Sparkplugs.

I go off of what Kern says. He says the stock charge pipe is rated for more power then I am shooting for

What made you decide on the pure 800?

I'm looking at the same setup with a TU pump but on 91 pump. Looking at B58s pure 800 he has for sale. 500 whp is fine with me but I don't want to sacrifice any low end.

So honestly. The only reason I went with pure is because the new cast one does not require a core deposit, and my tuner told me they are 1 left in stock at the time. So I just went with it. I was really going to go with DAW to be honest, but the guy who tunes my car works with a lot of pure tubro bmws. So I trusted his opinion. And yes, that is why I am going to do a 93 tune because it seems like a lot of people may not have access to E. So I really want to see how the car does on just 93 considering there is a lot of debate on how our cars perform on 93 only.

B58togo · 09-25-2022, 08:57 AM

I ordered the Pure 800 cast as well. Dorch Stage 2 is sitting in the garage, waiting for its new partner. Six new injectors will be here Tuesday. I'm shooting for 620 WHP on E40-E50.

Congrats

I'm running the OG Pure800 with a Dorch stage 2 on 94 + meth, you will not be disappointed. Currently doing revisions on E50 + meth and she is absolutely flying.

AMG KLR · 09-25-2022, 02:17 PM

How much is the install for a turbo?

I believe my tuner is charging me $750. I know it may seem like a lot. But I suck at working on cars. So to me it's worth it.

I'm sure it will!! Either option is great for what you pay for. Whenever you get dialed in send the logs/times over here
