TLOA Turbo Labs of America turbo rebuild

Who are you and how are you liking it?

Same person also did their X5M so it's sparked interest over there as well.

And this ☺️

Who are you people, damn it :-) Intake AND exhaust wheel options, finally!! I'd like a $2k option vs a $5k while getting almost the same results. Pure has great results and all, but are they really worth the $3k +/- difference...I think not but that's just me.

ey2001 · 01-16-2018, 10:23 PM

I wonder if he doesn't any 535 turbos

I thought the 535 was an N55?

I need to reach out about N63 upgrade...

m5james · 01-17-2018, 09:29 PM

Maybe so. Nevertheless I'm sure there's an answer on their website and/or their YouTube videos.

Except the N54 has 2 turbos and the N55 one.

m5james · 01-17-2018, 10:35 PM

They don't only do BMW's, so I'm not sure how that's relevant. They're a rebuilder, Austin just happens to have an N54 powered 335 so that's how I've heard about them.

m5james · 01-22-2018, 10:21 PM

Bump for whoever you are that bought these...updates, please.

Yes, mine are the latest ones and the biggest ones for n63tu from TLOA Austin

Still trouble shooting jb4/BCM on my n63tu, as soon as I’ll fix that I’m pretty sure you will hear about me

m5james · 01-26-2018, 08:37 PM

Most don't point out if they're non-TU or TU, which is a teaser for me since I'm often reading on both N63 and S63, non-TU and TU, forums.

You've gotten them rebuilt by TLOA, but what options did you choose? What'd this cost you? Do you have an S63 powered vehicle as well, particularly the ones rebuilt in the first video? Are your turbos in either of the 3 videos linked above? I don't know about N63 guys, but I know I can use S63TU turbos on my non-TU S63 engine with some mild machining on th header-to-turbo flange.

m5james · 01-30-2018, 09:40 PM

Bump.

Just unlocked my DME’s for Bootmod3 and working on my tune...
1. Yes
2. It’s stage 2 with cold & hot side upgrade
3. A little over $1k with PayPal & shipping compared to Pure S2 for $5000

4. No, my car is 550i with n63tu engine & my turbos is on 3rd video above.

How long did it take? Any idea what numbers you'll be putting out soon?

Prepare for some quiet a bit time for his upgrade because mostly he's the one who's doing all the work and he's slammed with all kind turbo rebuilds/upgrades.
I would definitely suggest to get another used set for his upgrade because it's going to be a little bit till you get them back.
Never dyno it....assuming around 700hp on low boost

Now he's doing something very different for me IG@FrozenF10

Following. Was going to go with Alpina turbos, but saw this YouTube and peaked my interest.

BMWGRUZIN · 12-12-2018, 05:58 PM

BUMP!!!

any news on that guy? i just got my stage 1 tune from Burgertuning and thinking already about turbos

how do you contact this guy?

thanks.

Shieldze1025 · 12-20-2018, 12:28 PM

I reached out to them about fixing a wastegate rattle on an N55 and he said they haven't worked on that specifically but would look into it. I need to reach out again, I've just been super busy.

m5james · 01-12-2022, 10:11 PM

Bump for updates on the N63 turbos to see how they're holding up.
