Holy shit, you don’t even have to remove the passenger side engine support arm like on the n55 or lower the subframe or do some other things like on the n54. B58 is awesome

[@kc2213]

It's comical how much less work is required to replace the turbo on a b58 compared to n54.

[@airy1990]

Thanks man! I watched this video to put my turbo in! You’re very thorough on showing step by step.

12:05 T20 bolt, anyone knows the part number of that bolt for our gen 1 b58?

[@pissywilly]

The liquimoly turbo additive that goes in the oil port, is this in place of dry firing the engine/ priming the turbo or in additiin to?

[@Kazarak]

Started on this yesterday, and like you said nothing goes easy lol. Car has 79k all highway. I fought to separate my daw dp to my mid pipe. The lines coolant and oil were brutal but managed to wiggle em enough to get a gap and then slowly work em out. The bmw heat blanket that goes over the watergate had a rusted snap and tore. I’ve searched parts catalogs and can’t find it. Any ideas? It’s definitely easier to remove with the dp removed as you did. I’m installing my new DAW. Thx

[@chrxme3786]

Would using liqui molys turbo additive instead of turning fuel off be a good alternative?

[@EcosseB58]

Love your content, really helpful. Quick question on the plastic clip on the charge pipe c clip. Is this needed to reinstall the stock charge pipe? Or will the c clip on its own hold it enough you think? I'm replacing the water pump, so would rather not have to replace that, id guess it would be a whole new CP? Thanks!

[@kern417]

I'm not sure what you mean. Nothing should need to be replaced. The clips are reusable

[@DamnDudeGetaLife]

14:15 Oscillating back and forth? You have to be an engineer lol

[@kern417]

lmao is it that obvious

[@pissywilly]

Anyone know the torque spec on the oil and coolant lines? The t30 bolts

[@codybock1630]

Great video - need to pick your brain if you don't mind. I had to replace my intake manifold, therefore lost pretty much all the coolant in the auxiliary system...do you know if I can just simply fill up the reservoir, and begin the bleed process for both systems?

[@kern417]

Yes, you should only need to bleed to aux system unless you also drained your main tank

[@lavazza8031]

L additif Mocool Motul - 15° est il possible ?

[@mattmartin598]

Curious, when you're under the car and pull the coolant line after pulling that heat shield back; what is that open hole directly above it? I'm busy with mine, yours is open as well, but mine looks like it's been used at one point. Thanks

[@kern417]

Nothing goes there

[@mattmartin598]

@@kern417 Understood, thank you. But they didn't machine it for no reason; it even has thread in it and mine has definitely had something mounted before. Very curious to what it's for.

Hey just have a question, I pulled the plug on a flowmax turbo was wondering if after I install the turbo I can still use the ots maps on mhd while the upgraded turbo is on ? I know I won’t be pushing the turbo like it’s suppose if I don’t have a custom tune .

[@kern417]

Only way to confirm is run a log

This is a great video. I've been using this one instead of all the others because he isn't skipping super important steps like the other videos. Also, does anyone know if a tool exist to pull the oil and coolant lines out of the turbo ? I can not get these things to pull out. Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately no. Just have to wiggle back and forth

Just a lot of patience. You can use a screw driver while pulling or loop something through it for leverage

[@fasbig140i7]

Would this work for all b58 engines I have a m140i 2018 like a tit I unscrewed the nuts if I Count the bolt threads closer to actuator (I see 5/6) would it be the same for my car?

[@kern417]

Yes

[@dromo32]

I am waiting for my Vargas GC+ turbo kit to arrive with the intake manifold and port injection. I've been trying to do research on how long it should take to do this install because the bmw techs are telling me it's going to be 25 hours to take off the stock turbo, manifold and lpfp and install the new upgrades. I find this hard to believe because when my car got diagnosed, they took off my turbo within an hour while I waited in the service area but now all of a sudden it's going to take 25 hours?! There's no way an intake manifold with port injection and lpfp upgrades should add an extra 20 hours or whenever bmw took off the turbo originally in less than an hour.....smh

[@ElMEXICAN25]

Any updates on how the Vargas is preforming?

[@kevincolon7547]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@codybock1630]

Sorry to bug again, but I'm a novice, and would rather get advice/knowledge from someone with experience. To my point, when priming the turbo, and disabling the fuel system, you mention "unplugging your HPFP" does that just require unplugging the 2 wire harness attached directly to the HPFP?

[@kern417]

Yes the 2 pin connector

[@jackhere4594]

can we use ista+ now? or is it locked? is there other software to calibrate a new turbo/wastegate?

[@kern417]

You don't need ISTA to calibrate the wastegate. I made a whole video on how to do it yourself. Look up b58 wastegate calibration

[@codybock3834]

do you need to re-torque the manifold bolts after a certain time or heat cycles?

[@kern417]

It's never a bad idea to check them but it's not required

[@05Duramax07]

Do you have the torque specs for the bottom row of bolts??? I didn’t realize I could leave them tight and I can’t find the torque anywhere

[@kern417]

Same as the top

[@05Duramax07]

@@kern417 I ended up putting them at 10ft lbs. didn’t want to risk over tightening them and that’s about what I felt like it took to break them free.

[@28levie]

will al the oil come out when I remove the oil drane line ?

[@kern417]

No but some may come out depending on how long the car has been parked. When you turn off the car, all the oil begins draining down to the pan. My car had been parked for a while so no oil came out

[@nathanhernandez3145]

Does the install kit come with the dp gasket and and all the o rings needed?

It should but it's usually cheaper to buy them separately
