Completly understand the hesitation after a first bad experience, but the data shows that Pure kits are the most proven and reliable kits on the market. the odds of a failure happening to you again are very slim.

Thanks Mike, I hope so! There are definitely a few of us that this has happened to with the PS2 but I'm sure that the vast majority haven't had any issues.

BM3 gone. EcuTek flashed. Bend Cal working on base map. Last random bits inbound from FCP ahead of a date with the mechanic next week.

On track for some initial impressions of the Pure500 middle of this month with dyno session to follow.

As a street setup, even on 93, I’m very satisfied by the upgrade—easily worthwhile over the stock turbo. OEM spool but pulls much harder, even at higher RPMs.

It seems to perform as well as the TTE460 turbo, I should be around 500whp or more, depending on ethanol content (virtual dyno puts me around there).

Based on quotes they sent me, they’d charge almost 40% more to install a stage 2 turbo, so another win for the Pure500.

I had a quick question about the upgraded EKP system if I’m running a hobb switch for my secondary pump would I need a stage 4 kit or the stage 2 is enough ?

I think only the stage 4 kit is intended for dual pump setups, but I’d recommend asking Bill to be sure.

Pure750 porn to bump the thread. Installed upgraded compressor cover and inlet

I decided to pull the trigger on the pure 500 with x-ph. Doing the install myself on a xdrive, should be fun. Can't wait

What’s your fueling setup/plan?

Currently stock on e30 . Going to see how the p500 does with it. I'm not looking for anything crazy, no plan for any aftermarket hpfp if e30 suffice my needs. I do have a tu pump but I'm debating about installing it. I've read that it can possibility grenade the engine, so I'm a bit hesitant. Not sure if it was improper install of pump or what buti def don't want to chance it. Heard non tu pump is fine, which I might do that instead if anything.

i get it..Honestly think a pure500 and stage 2hpfp or similar would be a great, no fuss combo. Typically the stock hpfp gives out arouns 425/435wheel. Think I seen the tu can get close to 470(?)….Dorche told me these cars should have came with something equivalent to their stage1 from factory…Personally the ds2 or spool would be my goto if doing the pure500..

Yup, I have a stage 1 just in case I do want to go hotter in the future.

I might have to look into a ds1 down the road when I get bored with the p500.

Id opt for a stage 2…other option would be ds1 then a liftkit later

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have a 35% upgrade, HPFP and full Bolton would that be enough to run a pure 500 on my car or do I need more parts?

If you’ve upgraded the HPFP, a Pure500 is a nice compliment. Get a proper custom tune from a well regarded tuner for max returns.

My install date got bumped to next week

[Sultan hamdi]

Good luck with that and hoping ur enjoy ur ride and pls keep us updated on ur experience

Bolt ons have mostly been bolted. With luck, we’ll wake the car back up and deliver the first datalog to start the tuning process tomorrow. It’s going to be tight getting it on the dyno by the next track outing 5/11 but I’m going to make a go of it.

[ThreeStripes]

After some delays, the car started with the Pure500 yesterday. The Bend flex kit and HPFP are going in right now. Progress. Slow progress, but I’ll take it.

Bend Cal support has been exceptional.

[ThreeStripes]

It’s alive! EcuTek is seeing ethanol content. Car idles great on the base map. It’s on Shell 93 and we’ll work our way up in power and ethanol over the next few weeks.

Working to have it on track 5/11. Might not have it on the dyno before then. If not before, definitely in May.
