Turbos for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

If more boost and reliability are your goals choose from one of our BMW turbo upgrades. Our turbo upgrades range from stock turbos rebuilt with stronger internals to all-new, ground-up turbo upgrades. BMW turbos such as the N54 are capable of really impressive power numbers on stock engine internals but the factory turbos lack the precise tolerances and reliability that an upgraded unit will deliver. In other words, the stock turbos can only do so much and if big power (>400whp) is your goal a turbo upgrade must be in your plans. Our partners are leading experts in turbo technology and upgrades. Each Stage has been professionally developed and tested. Additional upgrades and tuning may be, or is, required. Contact us for more details on tuning options.

The early N55 turbocharger is notorious for pneumatic wastegate actuator failure, a common issue that triggers frustrating boost errors and persistent check engine lights. Because BMW does not provide this specific component as a standalone replacement, owners are often left with few official repair options. Pure Turbos solves this problem with an upgraded actuator engineered to fix the inherent weaknesses of the original equipment while simultaneously boosting the efficiency of the entire turbocharging system. One of the primary benefits of this enhanced actuator is its ability to deliver approximately 2 psi of additional boost compared to the factory unit while maintaining the same Wastegate Duty Cycle. By optimizing how exhaust gases are managed and bypassed, this component allows the engine to generate more power without requiring more effort from the electronics. This increased pressure translates directly into sharper throttle response and a noticeable jump in horsepower, making it an essential upgrade for drivers who want to restore their vehicle's reliability while enjoying a more aggressive and responsive driving experience.

Ensure proper sealing when installing the turbos on your N54.

Kit includes:

  • 16 - ASA M7x39 studs
  • 16 - Flange nuts
  • All required gaskets and o-rings
  • Water pump install hardware
  • Replacement vacuum hose
  • T-bolt clamps

Helpful hints:

For complete installation instructions, refer to Haynes Service Manual (T#193950).

Both downpipes must be removed to remove either front or rear turbo. Tie rod end may need to be separated from knuckle for clearance. Steering rack may also need to be rotated away from subframe for access. Valve cover heat shield will need to loosened and pushed upward to get clearance for turbo manifold removal.

If studs back out of cylinder head and nuts are seized to studs, replace studs. Thread studs in to head by hand to prevent cross threading. When installing the new studs in the cylinder head, use a high temperature loctite in the cylinder head side, and copper anti-seize on the nut side.

To make more room for access to the front turbo, remove the rubber line running in front of the subframe that attaches to the back of the map thermostat and remove the clip. Cut off the OEM clamp and replace it with a new hose clamp as well.

Complete removal of the water pump is not required. Detach the water pump from the side of the block and push it out of the way to make more room for access to the front turbo. If water pump is unbolted from the block, the aluminum bolts must be replaced.

Bracket to cylinder head: 9Nm
Coolant supply line to crankcase: 9Nm
Coolant return line to crankcase: 8Nm

This filter, made of serviceable and replaceable Stainless Steel Mesh, adds an extra layer of defense against engine oil debris that could harm your turbocharger.

As BMW enthusiasts, we admittedly did not know how to feel when BMW moved to forced induction. We loved the naturally aspirated power that the NA straight six produced, but Pure Turbos has been able to prove time and time again what a forced induction BMW powerplant is capable of putting down. Here at Turner Motorsport, we trust Pure Turbos to meet all of your power desires - after all, there's a reason the majority of the fastest forced induction BMWs on the road are running Pure Turbos. Looking for massive gains out of your N55 powered BMW? This Stage 2 turbo upgrade kit from Pure Turbos can allow you to achieve over 500whp reliably with supporting modifications! This price includes a $300 core charge that is refunded once we receive your rebuildable core. This upgrade kit features: Upgraded high flow turbine wheel Upgraded point-milled billet compressor wheel Dual oil seals on both compressor and turbine Large diameter 360 thrust upgrade Extensive turbofold modifications and machining Direct fit, as OEM, as these utilize OEM housings Featuring a limited 1 year warranty.

Turbo maintenance has become part of our daily lives here. Our Service department does several turbo overhauls, wastegate adjustments, carbon cleaning, and upgrades every week. For the DIY owner, however, having a complete overhaul kit takes some of the stress out of 135/535 turbo replacement and this kit includes all of the basic items. It's highly likely N54 turbos will have to be replaced before 100,000 miles. Signs of a failing turbo are high oil consumption and blue smoke from exhaust (not from a leak or failing CCV system) because the internal oil seals are no longer retaining oil. Without critical lubrication and cooling effects from oil, the turbo shafts and bearings are usually the first to wear and that requires a complete rebuild. You might also see increased turbo lag or failure to hold boost, which is usually a sign of a failing wastegate or some other internal issue. With any internal problems the turbos need to be replaced. 

This package uses new (not rebuilt) Mitsubishi turbochargers (the original supplier to BMW). These are essentially direct replacement turbos but we went straight to the manufacturer instead of going through BMW. They are the same as the factory turbos but without a BMW logo so you save yourself a few hundred dollars. It includes everything that needs replacement during a 135 or 535 N54 twin turbo overhaul -

  • Front and rear new OEM Mitsubishi turbos (the original supplier of BMW turbos)
  • 1 gallon of Genuine BMW coolant
  • ​16 - ASA M7x39 studs
  • 16 - Flange nuts
  • All required gaskets and o-rings
  • Water pump install hardware
  • Replacement vacuum hose
  • T-bolt clamps

These are brand-new turbos so a core charge does not apply.
