Pure Turbos BMW N55 Pure500 Stage 1 Hybrid Turbocharger Upgrade (Core Send-In) - Fits M2, M135i, 135i, M235i, 335i, 435i - PWG/EWG Drop-In

Pure500 Stage 1 Hybrid for BMW N55 - Direct-fit performance turbo for M2, M135i, 135i, M235i, 335i, 435i

Unlock effortless torque and top-end pull from your single-turbo six without sacrificing daily manners. The Pure Turbos Pure500 Stage 1 hybrid is a stock-frame, plug-in upgrade for N55-powered BMWs that delivers rapid spool, factory-like refinement and consistent results. We have fitted this unit on customer cars and our own builds at MJ Modifications and it simply works. Fast response, strong midrange, clean power to the limiter and an OE look under the bonnet.

Why the Pure500 hybrid is a winning upgrade

• Direct-fit stock housing for an OE-style install and a factory appearance
• VSR balanced to original equipment tolerances for smooth, reliable operation
• CNC-machined compressor cover with an enlarged billet wheel for improved airflow
• High-flow GT28-style turbine for better top-end without lazy spool
• Retains fast response for road, track day and daily use
• Works brilliantly with sensible supporting hardware and a proper calibration

Typical results on the road and dyno

• PWG N55: around 50 bhp peak with approximately 70 to 80 bhp extra at the top end depending on tune and hardware
• EWG N55: up to about 10 bhp improvement at the top compared to the factory EWG unit

Running an EWG car and chasing bigger numbers at high rpm? Consider the brand’s Stage 2 option for a larger step up.
