Might need new turbos: recommendations?
So I'm starting to get the "turbo siren" sound from 700-2000 RPM and I'm preparing for the worst... dead turbos.
If I need to buy new turbos, I think I want to keep it as stock as possible so everything is just plug and play. Just a couple of questions: 1) Where does one get OEM turbos from? 2) Are Vargas turbos basically OEM turbos with newer style waste gates? Thanks! |

The aftermarket turbos usually have bigger turbo wheels etc. They are still "plug and play" - otherwise they wouldn't fit - think about it! I have the Pure Turbo stage 1 and it is "plug and play" as it is an OEM (Borg Warner) turbo, just with a bigger wheel. If the price difference isn't significant, you really should consider getting an aftermarket turbo. And as noted, you have posted in the wrong section as you have a N54 engine. Perhaps educating yourself about your engine and your options should be your first priority.

Get bmw parts foe oem. $1,800 about, then $2,000 labor for oem. Stealer is $5,500. Vargas uses a similar housing or stock housing but different internals and waste gates. Better stuff more power.
