F%$# Turbo Impeller...

RRRR. Im so pissed. There has to be someone who can rebuild these or at least get a rebuild kit for the OEM Garrett turbo.

about 85K miles on it.

Oh damn!

is there any shaft play? Turbos can be rebuilt... it shouldn't cost too much Unless it cost more because it is BMW?

Can you upgrade to a bigger turbo? I would think you will need to get an update the engine tune as well.

If u look up pureturbos on instgram they have a stage 1 rebuild and stage 2 option as far as a regular rebuild junkyard for a replacement but wouldnt suggest that and im sure a pureturbo upg will b way less then bmw charges

I'd opt to see if an upgrade will work but I think u would need a flash tune vs a piggyback since u are changing the whole mapping parameters? I maybe wrong tho? Maybe a tech guru can chime in?

would a turbo from a 550 work?

Looking at that I wonder what damage those bits have done to the rest of the engine.

lsturbointeg · 07-19-2015, 09:59 PM

So what's the update?

If u upgrade on bigger Turbo I'd look into a flash tune to accommodate more air/fuel but I wonder because I haven't done my homework on the stock internals can the motor run safely without detonation? I'm assuming bigger injectors bigger fuel pump?
