Cts turbo f-series bmw n55 boss turbo upgrade
I figured I'd make a post on this turbo, couldn't really find much information on this since everyone joined the b58 family and they're the hot commodity in the streets.
Just a little background on my M235i: Car is currently FBO of course, including a spool fx-150 HPFP and a spool stage 2 LPFP, with MHD custom map from True Power Software making low 400's on the dyno. Car has been running great, beating a lot of stock turbo n54's. But with all these n54's being upgraded turbos and b58's making over 500whp it was time to upgrade to keep it competitive. First impression on the turbo is the obvious A LOT bigger than stock, have some pictures for comparison. As I write this, the car is jacked up in the garage. I will be doing the install at home so I can provide all the details. Looking forward to seeing the car taking on some upgraded turbo n54's and some b58's. If the turbo is as advertised, it should easily make close to 600whp for now. If needed might upgrade HPFP to a stage 2 and upgrade injectors might possibly add port if needed to max out the turbo. Will keep you guys updated with progress. And a quick shoutout to Extreme Powerhouse for the turbo. Fast shipping, great products and great communication!

I should start data logging this week, and hopefully bring some pump gas numbers then some e50 numbers.

Im not sure if hes having issues or not, but i had just finished mine not even an hour ago, it was a hell of a time trying to install, have a small coolant leak and have to adjust my wastegate but outside of that i think its hooked up right, im waiting on a new turbo inlet at the moment my pcv cracked when i pulled it out

Sorry guys I was out of town, I should be finishing up soon. Taking my time on installation to make sure things are good.

Make sure you snug up the lines very well! I accidentally didnt tighten one of the water lines enough and ive got a nice slow leak going on, fixing it this coming weekend, also would you by chance have ista+ so i can adjust my wastegate aswell?

Make sure to do a 91/93/E30 dyno. Peeps that only run normal 91/93 want numbers from this kit, I'm especially curious about the 91 oct only.

PWG is easier as there was this vacuum device you plugged it and there was a gauge you can check if it's within spec, and you adjust the nut from there.
