VIV addressed these issues after they saw this video according to them, I installed the updated version of these about 5 weeks ago and I'm tuned for 21 psi boost, we'll see how long they last,
@@f80_rbk they’ve been working perfectly, I haven’t been pushing it much because of wet winter roads already, but I’ve been to 22 psi boost a few times and the power comes on till redline, so far so good , they’re louder than the 17ts and make really nice induction noises
Very informative and keep making these videos. Something I'd like to know is how to balance the turbos when you put the back together and will there be a part 2 as others have commented?
Appreciate the video !!! 👍 had alot of questions on these turbos and u awnsered all thanx ! Any other turbos u recomned that are cheap but a lil better then these for my n54?
Hi turbo lab, thanks for this video, I have no experience in this field, have a stock N54 engine and wanna make the upgrade turbos, would you recommend this 19t blade ones with the upgrade kit? Or should I go with other brand? I wanna make around 550 to 600 hp without pushing turbos to the limit, it’s gonna be a daily driven 135i, thanks for your time
17t 6blades have to have actuators rods positioned for optimum waste gate open and close. Also keep tune under 23 psi 24 25 with E85 mix. Definitely a convo to have wit your tuner.. I suggest Doc Vu Just a deeper thought to rebuild the chra center sections with turbolabs 17t turbo rebuild kits..These Chinese units theyre deliberately using fail parts to sell to us...guess they want repeat buyerslol
@@ltdasilva93 I've done more research and since changed course I ordered a doc race dr700 kit. However it is paramount that the stock pcv system both high and low are eliminated and an external system is ran.
Great info on the video for everyone getting 19T. I recently purchases the rebuild kit to install prior to installing the turbos. would you replace the seal with a staggered if I have an extra?
Good info, I was thinking to go single turbo with my N54 but I don't want to loose the quick reaction of the twins... This apply to the 17t too? And, another question... I'm from Chile, can I buy this turbos, send to your location to make this upgrade and you send me after that?
What turbo for the N54 would you recommend as an OEM+ upgrade? So basically a turbo that exceeds in every measure over the stock Mitsubishi twin turbochargers?
@@cupompa I would email or call Rob “RB Turbo”. His customer service is bar none and will recommend what you need based on what power levels you want. He offers really good discounts as well. RB and Pure actually build and balance their turbos unlike other companies that source it out. You can’t go wrong with either one. Good luck!
I’m not sure, one of the people I’m talking with has a set of 17t he’s trying to repair but he is facing a problem of the parts not being the same, the bearings and piston rings are different so the parts would have to be recreated.
