Ive installed the list below of parts in prep for pure stage 2 turbo. Questions i have. 1) how much should upgrading turbos cost me, parts & labor? 2) are parts listed all i will need to upgrade turbo now? 3) I was leaning toward not using Meth (if ok), what power / boost should i expect ?

Parts already added:
1) Bigger cooler
2) Catless DP
3) Charge pipes
4) K&N airfilter (stock box)
5) tune

Parts needed next:
1) Pure stage 2 turbo
2) fuel pump upgrade
3) retune

4) Meth

Add GFB DV+ and Pure Turbos inlet pipe. I wouldn't say they are "needed" but they do offer improvements and are easier swapped if doing a turbo upgrade at the same time. You may also need to upgrade the TMAP sensor to the N20 variant, which can read higher boost values.

I would think around $8k for it all. Though it will probably be less. I know PS2, XDI-35, GFB DV+, and PS inlet pipe come out to $5700. I think a custom tune is ~$700, rough guess for install $1000-1500, TMAP sensor guess $200. I may be a little high on my guesses though.

GFB DV+ wrecked my "FRIENDS" original diverter valve.
It's a useless product, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I don't even consider GFB anymore, there is a reason it's cheaper, I'd rather give my M2 the best parts. It's an expensive car after all.

I'd post a photo or video but I can't figure out how to do it on here lol.

Instead of buying a whole new overpriced BMW diverter valve, I just went to Turbosmart and they had a product that replaced the crappy plastic OEM part and the GFB entirely and it plugged right into the original wiring harness for the OEM DV.

Do you understand the purpose of the GFB DV+ or you think it's just an upgrade to a plastic OEM part?

GFB is the name of the brand, DV+ is the upgraded diverter valves offered by this brand.
