This video helped me a lot with installing N55 PS2, now time to get a custom tune.
Awesome! Enjoy the upgraded turbo.
Just wanna thank you for this install video! Ive put about 6000 miles on my PS2 setup. This video gave me the confidence to do this shit on jack stands.
Glad to help! Enjoy the new setup 😊
Great video Sal, working on bolt-ons for my 135i, this will be very useful.
Glad it could help. Let me know if you need any advice.
Goodness you’re a better man then I! Even did all that with a camera and an I watch on… impressive!!!
Thanks man! This comment made my day. Take care!
Man you just saved me $2k!! bout to do a turbo install on my 335i f30
Good luck man! You got this 👍
Great video. I also have to add that Kies Motorsports did a series of videos on n55 turbo replacement, they also don’t remove the subframe. What’s more, you don’t need to remove the subframe to do the turbos on the n54 like many people do
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 for uploading this guide.
No problem!
Thank you very much for this guide! Wish me luck on the install.
Good luck! Thanks for watching.
How’d it go?
@@majinleon7682 Went well, no issues.
Great Video Sal.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Never complaining about changing my N54 chargepipe
Those are tough too 😆
Nice work doing this yourself in a pretty quick manner.
Thanks man! It’s not easy, but it is doable.
Amazing video mate thank you for your work! Helps alot of ppl
Glad you found it useful. Happy thanksgiving!
Thank you for your Video
Anytime! Good luck with install, let me know if you got any questions.
Hey bro, I know you no longer have the car, but I found you’re the only one who actually responds to comments. (You a real one) I’m in the process of installing ps2 on an EWG n55 but have no idea how to adjust the wastegate correctly lol! Other videos show you how on pwg, but not on EWG
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 👍
Sal, yo, holy crap. Great work. There's a reason you only have upvotes on this video. AND you did this outside??? This was phenomenal and I'm so happy I have access to view this for free.
I have a 2011 335i xDrive e90 that's an N55, so everything to do with the front is gonna be tighter and there's always less DIY's as AWD's tend to get less loving mod videos. But hey, it's just bolts, right?
I already have a catless VRSF downpipe, but when my turbo goes I'll be getting a PS2 most likely, while replacing the waterpump and thermostat and new coolant lines don there to take care of plumbing, new O2 sensors just cause, new exhaust gaskets and hardware and a newer v-band, (new engine mounts?) and getting the metal inlet and outlets like you showed with the diverter valve from GFB DV+. Anything else you'd recommend changing while in the area?
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!
Wow great video, thanks. A lot of work, not for unexperienced mechanic. I am a little bit jealous when I see your acceleration, 0 to 60 in less than 7 seconds. I have a N55 on a X3 2011, 35i and battling with low boost drivetrain message for long. Have done the charge pipes, checked everything but still getting it. This drivetrain message come systematically when I am crusing at 80 km/h and want to go fast to 120km/h. Maybe turbo leak, dunno...
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.
You don’t have to remove the subframe but just unbolt the 3 bolts from each side and let it hang to get much more space to work with.
Great tip! I could have used an extra 1/2 inch of space for sure.
awesome video bro!! really helped me out. my new turbo doesn't fit that turbo support bracket. i was wondering if you know if that's super vital or if i can go wjthiut it
You’ll be fine without it. Good luck 👍
When you installed the turbo initially did you replace the coolant and oil gaskets or lines? Or did you just use the original lines and gaskets?
I used the original lines but replaced the o-rings and gaskets.
Sal, assuming you are selling the car,(putting everything back to stock), please tell me if it were worth it or not to have the pure stage 2 on your 335i. Was the pure stage 2 good for daily driving or is the stock turbo better etc.
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
Hey if your turbo is new do you have to add anything into the turbo to prevent any initial start up damage? And do you have to prime the turbo before you start it?
None needed. It has oil in it already from the balancing procedure the manufacturer does before shipping them out
Thanks man!
I have question why do put the engine support bar after you remove the engine support bracket ??? What is going to happen if you don’t use the engine support bar ???
Engine will fall off the car through the bottom.

Hi dude nice video! Can you just let me know why you going back to stock turbo ?
Thanks! I was selling the car so I needed to part out everything. Sold all mods separately.
I cannot unscrew the 4 t30 bolts...I am scared I am about to strip them. They are just too tightly screwed in from the factory.
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
Hey, nice video man!
Did you drained oil before replacing turbo?
Yes, since I had to disconnect the oil lines to the turbo.
@@Sals_Garage thank you for the answer.. 🤝
@@arnoldas_sav anytime! Good luck 👍
Hey man great video. How did you get the second and third turbo manifold nuts off on the bottom side
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
Great video, Sal!! Hard to find N55 stuff. Ive upgraded to Pure stage 1 turbo and am struggling to hold boost. Almost positive there are no boost leaks. Wondering if I need to adjust my WG actuator to accommodate new turbo or need a different actuator kit to support 20psi. On log, boost grabs target at first, but then quickly drops off and maintains 12-13psi to redline, and WGDC% vs WGDC TARGET not close at all. Any help would be much appreciated. I emailed PURE, yesterday, so hopefully Ill get their 2 cents soon. Thanks again for your help.
Hey! Sorry I don’t have much solutions for you, hoping Pure can help you out. Let me know what they say. Good luck 👍
Hey ik it's late. But what exact turbo did u get?
I had Pure Stage 2 PWG turbo for N55
Yup I'll be paying for someone to install my turbo. Looks like a serious pain in the ass! Good job though, I wish I had the time and the patience to do it
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
Sal, how long did it take to remove the turbo and install the turbo?
Took me 10 hours the second time. First time was 16 hours.
@@Sals_Garage Thanks Man!
@@reginald8405 Anytime brother. Good luck.
Yooo bro where did you get the cross strut brace
amzn.to/3mmEY2W
This method is gonna work also on 2011 BMW 535i because it has the same engine exactly so you have to add on your video name title upgrade the TurboCharger 2011 BMW 535i to 2016 also 2011 N55 to 2016
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 🙏
did u have to take your wheels off?
I did not need to. It may help a bit if you remove the wheel well.
How come you sold it? Just curious.
I was parting out all the car modifications since I was selling the car.
Is the engine support bar needed
Yes unless you can support the engine on a hoist.
Why did u remove the pure turbo?
I was selling the car and parting out all the mods to sell separately.
i have a 2012 x5 35i do i have to drop my axel to gain access too
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.
I'm going to stop comllaining about the turbo on my S2000, Eclipse, MR2, Starion and Celica. This is a fucking ridiculous replacement. 😳 great job though!
Thanks man! Those cars sound tough to work on too. Good job 👏
Is the turbo still available?
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.
Thanks Sal do you recommend it? I have n55 e90 is the stage 2 just plug in or needs new tune?
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.
Sal do you do side work? I live in the Central Valley?
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.
Now*
Are you selling your stage 2 turbo?
Yes, i was able to sell it for 2200 plus shipping costs.
It seems it would actually be quicker and so much easier to just pull the engine and with it hanging just a foot above the engine bay swap the turbo. This looks like so many shortcuts that just end up making it really way more painful. Removing the radiator and core support takes like an hour. and then everything is trivial to reach.
You’re probably right, unfortunately I don’t have the tools or a garage necessary for pulling an engine.
Just bought a stage 2 hybrid for my E93, I hope it’s worth it😂
It is 👍
@@Sals_Garage not enough tuned E93 out there! What power did you end up making?

Man man man, working with his watch and ring on, a real amateur .....😬
Good point, forgot to take them off lol
That heat shield is the stupidest bmw design I’ve seen, 2 of them stripped out on me. Tiny Torx bits where you can’t even reach
Oh no! I hate torx bits too. Hopefully you can find a way to get them off. 🤞
