Contemplating Pure Turbos

Thinking about doing a Pure Turbos install. I want to keep hp at 600 wheel, with a 6 speed manual that's plenty power for me. How long do these S55 motors hold up, anyone on here running these turbos in a with a high mileage vehicle?

I have 42,000 miles on my M4, if I don't like the looks of the upcoming M4 I'm probably going to move along with the Pure Turbo install, just trying to get an idea on long term reliability, thanks.

The turbos are most likely a reliable as stock.
I don't have any real data to back that up but I've got them on my car and many other people do as well.
If they do blow they will warranty them. You'd be out the price of install though

Thanks, I'll make a decision on these turbos after the reveal of the new M4 later on this year.

I'd just go full e85 + custom tune you'll be at 550-600 whp. Get the crankhub done you'll be fine.

I would have went that route but E85 is not available in my area unfortunately.

Meth injection + intakes and some extra stuff can get you 550 whp on 93

That's the beautiful thing about these S55 motors, they respond so well to just tuning. Previous car was a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT 8, to get the above mentioned power at the wheels involved motor work and or supercharger/turbo plus a tune.
