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. |

Replacing with a Pure 800 cast or Dynamic AutoWerx is as simple to swap as OEM, as there’s no fabrication involved. I’d recommend DAW over Pure.

If the concern is cost and not wanting to tune, I'm sure it would be fairly easy to find a stock used turbo |

I installed a DAW Ultraflow in my garage on jack stands. It's completely doable by non-mechanics. With all the resources we have in this community you can be very well versed in just about any scenario that might pop up during the install. It took me far longer to do it than it would have taken a mechanic (about 7 hours) but I learned a helluva lot in the process and saved a significant amount of money as well. The DAW product is fantastic with excellent support from the owner Shawn so that's the direction I would recommend you go in. However, if you aren't going to upgrade your fueling or your tune to take advantage of the new higher flowing turbo then your best bet would be just to get a lightly used OEM one from someone who is upgrading.
