I don't have it completed yet, but my understanding is you don't need additional fueling with the Stage 2. However you are limited to around 450whp with 93 octane stock.

Weren't folks having misfire issues with the Pure Stg 2 turbo due to lack of fueling and had to either upgrade their LPFP and either use meth or TBI with Ethanol?

Dinan has released instructions for RWD cars that allow for about 5 hours-important for us because essentially same procedure for a pure 1 or 2.
I'm hoping shops will come down based off of these "modified"'instructions....

Is there any DIY out there for the N55 stg2?

Pure has replied me that it is "just like replacing a stock turbo" hahaha - like I would know how to do that when I ask for instructions on the stg2

Weird, Dinan is quoting 5 hours to do the turbo swap on a RWD...installation costs alone, I'd go with a Dinan tubo (similar to stage 1 pure) due to cost savings!

Yeah pretty sure there is a bit more involved in Stage 2 because you have to remove the entire turbo/manifold and stage 1 you do not.

It definitely takes longer on xDrive, you need to hoist the engine and remove an engine mount. I did it in my garage with my wife. Probably spent ~10 hours working total not counting all the other issues I ran into with my turbo on the bench and going out to buy tools and spare parts.

Also you will need an install kit from pure that's $200, plus I'd recommend the diverter valve and inlet, which are $135 and $275 respectively.

Bottom line you're looking at about $4500 including the turbo.

Is it worth it? Absolutely!

Edit: this was for the N55, just realized you have an N54.

How much gains did you get?

And I've seen most quoted for 10-11 hours. 6.5 is AMAZING! What a lucky guy lol.

Hey quick question, since you know more about the PS2 than most people out here lol! .. I'm getting my PDU kit, PS2, and lpfp installed on my car on monday, i plan on running full e85, so I'm bringing it to the shop with an empty tank. The shop quoted me $2200 to install everything, which seems like a good price, So in order for this all to work, Im guessing ill have to do the tuning through the jb4 correct?? (I plan on taking it to Enzo after for a flash tune to top it off)
