F10 N55 Improved Replacement Turbo Inlet

ziekxq · 12-08-2018, 11:23 PM

Just got my inlet in today! Thx @AZ-MCRacer, after looking at the inlet I am glad I bought it from you before you ran out lol.

I feel like my build would have been incomplete without this inlet.

Thumbs up!

Do you still have one inlet left?

PM Me. One may become available.

AZ-MCRacer · 12-26-2018, 02:27 PM

Inlets are currently sold out! I will continue to have runs of them made if there is enough demand. If you are interested in one, let me know, I will start a list again and when I feel comfortable to make another run of at least 10.

Anyone upgrading the turbo and not getting this inlet is a major sin to your car lol.

How much did you pay in labor to upgrade turbo ?

I am still waiting on parts before I do my install. I am also waiting on xHP trans tune as I want to get that as well before I do the turbo upgrade.

As for cost of installation, fmic + turbo + lpfp stage 2 (I am doing diy for stage 2 pump) will cost me 700 dollars, I got a nice hook up so it makes life a litte easier.

Now I just wish someone does trans rebuild for our cars so I can get more torque out of it and pure create stage 3 turbo lol.

Definitely will be a lot easier installing the inlet with the turbo. I installed it after my turbo swap and I had to loosen the water pump and take off one side of the inter cooler pipe to barely be able to squeeze it in.

Thats why mine will be done with turbo install, I just count it as part of turbo install.

I don't even know who I would go to for a turbo swap if I were to buy one haha.

You can probably do all the mods your self beside the turbo just because of how much of a pain it is to install from what I read.

I would look for shops around your area.

The piece you are referring to looks like it could be an issue, but I am able to fully utilize the PS2 now without high WGDC levels. This means there is no significant restriction in airflow to the turbo.

Do you have data log with your setup?

Here is a Pull 3rd to 6th gear, maintaining around 20PSI 3K - 6K RPM and WGDC staying between 65-83%. Prior to the inlet I was holding 100% WGDC to make 17 PSI.

I am now working with a tuner to dial in a custom DME map. I have been renovating 2 houses and moving so I haven't really had much of a chance to do a lot aside from maintenance on this car. More details and updated dyno should be soon.

ziekxq · 01-07-2019, 01:23 PM

I think this inlet should be mandatory if going pure stage 2.

I am so glad I bought it before you ran out

I’ll start the list off! PS2 coming in spring, I need an inlet!

PM Me, I'll start a list and once I have enough committed I'll get them made. Since you are just the first so far since the last batch I won't ask for deposits yet.

I hope everyone understands this isn't a business for me, so I need to have committed takers. I have to pay the fabricator up front for the batch, then they get made, then I have to handle payments and distributing them. I love doing it to help others build up their F10/F11's. I have shipped every inlet order within 24 hours of receiving full payment.

How much is the Pure stage 2 turbo kit by itself?

kimoboy · 01-19-2019, 09:37 AM

Is that the same inlet that Pure sells it.

Pure has an improved inlet for E-Series and other F-Series cars, but not for the F10/F11.
