Glad to help! Enjoy the new setup 😊

True! Removing the subframe is more work and not necessary. I wanted to make a video on the e9x N55 since there wasn’t one. Hope it can help someone.

Thanks man! This comment made my day. Take care!

Awesome! Enjoy the upgraded turbo.

Good luck man! You got this 👍

Glad it could help. Let me know if you need any advice.

Those are tough too 😆

I appreciate the comment! Thank you. I recommend everything you mentioned, along with the new engine mounts. Also consider the Turbosmart BOV over the GFB DV+ if you like turbo noises. It is less likely to leak. It is very possible to DIY with the xdrive model, but it will just be a tighter space to work. The fact that you're removing so much parts will make it a lot easier. Good luck!

@@Sals_Garage I didn't mean to list everything and someone just agree to all of it and then provide one alternative. Lol. That's so awesome and makes me feel like I actually know what I'm doing and know what parts to replace (even tho I do know and do all my own work. Validation feels nice sometimes). I will look into the Turbosmart BOV instead. Much appreciated.

@@Objectional_Opinion Anytime! I always enjoy chatting with fellow DIY'ers. If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm glad to help.

@@Sals_Garage Sal, my friend, I had this video saved and my waterpump is going out first. My car has been randomly shutting off in my driveway only after my waterpump has been making noise, but I have a kid now! Little 4 month old baby girl and I'm moving states in the next few months so I can't tackle that entire job that I wanted to for time restraints at night as I can't work all day and hide in the garage all night with new priorities! My car is in the garage and being worked on this weekend so I'll just be tackling the waterpump and thermostat and any coolant hoses nearby as I bought all brand new ones already and most likely the engine mounts right now. The only thing I was thinking was putting one of the engine support bracket brace on top to lift the engine up a few inches or however far it can go up to give me room now that I'm not removing as much. I think that would work wonders! Just wanted to update and say hi, hope you're doing well. This video is still amazing.

@@Objectional_Opinion hey! Glad you’re doing well. No worries, I am confident you can get your issues fixed soon. Keep up the great work and thanks for reaching out!

Hey! Sorry but I don’t have any info on the EWG wastegate adjustment. It’s all done electronically using BMW programs and coding. Good luck 👍

Check out kies motorsports! Has just the video you're looking for

@@Justin-on6kw good tip

@@Sals_Garage thanks! Your video will come in handy pretty soon I hope. I do have a question. Could bad vacuum lines or DV be causing a slow spool and low top end boost (12-14psi) when the target is 19?

@@Justin-on6kw possible. Hope you can fix it soon. Good luck 👍

Great tip! I could have used an extra 1/2 inch of space for sure.

Good luck! Thanks for watching.

How’d it go?

@@majinleon7682 Went well, no issues.

Hang in there. It is probably rusted on. Try and spray some penetrating oil like PB blaster around the bolts and wait a few hours. Then clean the heads of the bolt, use a breaker bar for leverage, and break them free.

Just stripped the fuck out of the first t30 bolt towards the front. Livid

Thanks for the comment. Sounds like a boost leak somewhere in the piping or even a leak at the diverted valve. Hope you can find the issue and fix it soon.

Pressure converter. $150 part that will control the vacuum to your wastegate. I've got the same issue.

Thanks man! It’s not easy, but it is doable.

No problem!

It is 👍

@@Sals_Garage not enough tuned E93 out there! What power did you end up making?

@@bradhiggs1200 500 whp kzfaq.info/get/bejne/er19dq94sc66k5c.htmlsi=whrAHxpdqVTYOPsm

You’ll be fine without it. Good luck 👍

Thanks! I appreciate it.

The turbo was worth it, I am just wanting to move to the next project car since I am finished modding this car. PS2 is a great turbo.

@@Sals_Garage Thanks for the quick response. Really like brother

Engine will fall off the car through the bottom.

Glad you found it useful. Happy thanksgiving!

Hey! Sorry I don’t have much solutions for you, hoping Pure can help you out. Let me know what they say. Good luck 👍

None needed. It has oil in it already from the balancing procedure the manufacturer does before shipping them out

Thanks man!

I did not need to. It may help a bit if you remove the wheel well.

Thanks, will do.

@@Sals_Garage By the way this is very good video for replacing the TurboCharger thank you so much 👍.

@@hossamhaddad7 anytime! Thanks for the comment 🙏

I used the original lines but replaced the o-rings and gaskets.

Thanks man! Those cars sound tough to work on too. Good job 👏

Anytime! Good luck with install, let me know if you got any questions.

Thanks! I was selling the car so I needed to part out everything. Sold all mods separately.

I don’t blame you, it’s not too bad aside from putting the turbo back on. That thing is HEAVY. It’s also just time consuming at around 10-12 hours. If you were local I would definitely install it for you cheap, I love working on these N55 BMWs.

@@Sals_Garage Thank you for the reply greatly appreciated. I just purchased for my m235i a new steam GTX3582R, supposed to be good for 800hp, I believe it's the same as the new pure800 turbo coming out soon, the guy at steam said it was a prototype, it's a direct bolt on though, the housing has the electronic wastegate mount and everything. I also got a spool 180 hpfp, all the hot and cold side intercooling pipes and a larger intercooler. After spending to much I'm kinda on hold for the moment waiting save some to get it installed and tuned. If I thought I could do it, it would be on already. What part of the country you live in, I'd gladly pay you to install it. Only problem is my car is the X-Drive and I heard that makes it even harder 🤔

@@todddooley793 I'm from the bay area Fremont, California. That turbo sounds like a beast at 800 hp for an N55, super impressive. X-drive makes the install slightly tougher, but still possible without dropping the subframe. Kies motorsports has a great video on how to install a Pure Stage 2 turbo for an N55 on an X-drive F30 335i, which is the same engine as yours but he has pneumatic wastegate. After spending so much so far, it may be the right choice to wait a bit and save for the custom tune and install. Looking forward to seeing the power you put down, specially with AWD its gonna be nice!

@@Sals_Garage lol I'm in Maryland, yup not so local. Thanks again for the comment. I'll be getting it installed so as I can just don't want to make myself poor if I go and blow it up lol. Have a good evening my friend! Thanks again for your time!

Oh and I won't be using all 800hp I just thought for the same price as the pure stage 2 having the extra head room would be nice. I'll be happy at 550whp

Yes, since I had to disconnect the oil lines to the turbo.

@@Sals_Garage thank you for the answer.. 🤝

@@arnoldas_sav anytime! Good luck 👍

Thank you! You’ll need to get to them underneath or up top if can remember. You’ll need a short wobble extension with a flex head ratchet wrench and short plus long 11 mm socket. Use different combinations. It’s all by feel, you won’t see them. Good luck 👍

I really appreciate the response. Could you DM me possibly on instagram? I just have a few questions on what you did for fueling and stuff like that I already have the turbo and I already have the port injection kit just wondering if I need an upgraded ekpm or not? Planning on running a 525 fuel pump bucketless

amzn.to/3mmEY2W

Yes unless you can support the engine on a hoist.

I had Pure Stage 2 PWG turbo for N55

trying to replace gasket that goes to down pipe

I am not sure on the x5, my guess is that it is possible if you remove the DP.

Yes, i was able to sell it for 2200 plus shipping costs.

I was selling the car and parting out all the mods to sell separately.

I was parting out all the car modifications since I was selling the car.

Took me 10 hours the second time. First time was 16 hours.

@@Sals_Garage Thanks Man!

@@reginald8405 Anytime brother. Good luck.

Sold it a while back for 2 grand. Parted out all the mods and sold the car a month ago. Good luck in your search.

You’re probably right, unfortunately I don’t have the tools or a garage necessary for pulling an engine.

Yes I do in Fremont, what you need done?

@@Sals_Garage You have an email?

sparayno1@gmail.com

Sal I’m gonna email you know about some possible work for you.

Convertible

For X Drive try using kies mortorsport guide.

Oh no! I hate torx bits too. Hopefully you can find a way to get them off. 🤞

Hey! I do recommend it. It is a good 150 WHP more than stage 2+ MHD tune. You will need a custom tune to accommodate the new turbo. It will drive ok for light driving, but when you floor it, it will overboost and can damage the engine if on stock turbo tune. Let me know if you need any other info!

@@Sals_Garage why’d you remove it, selling the car?

@@Hippiemechanic yes, sold it and bought a 2009 M3.

@@Sals_Garage ik this was a while ago but where do you get it custom tuned or can you do it yourself or something

@@BmwMe-uh9sy custom tuned by wedge performance.

Good point, forgot to take them off lol
