Ipos Motorsport IM500 B46/B48 T51R Turbo Upgrade

Give your BMW the power it deserves — the pinnacle of performance, sound, and engineering.

BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engines with B46 and B48 engine codes have limited potential when they leave the factory. This is where the Ipos Motorsport IM500 T51R Turbo Upgrade comes in, removing these limits and effectively reborn your vehicle. This T51R-modified turbo not only increases power output but also transforms your vehicle's character.

🚀 Performance Increase – Feel the Real Power

Maximum Power Potential: With supporting modifications, power output in the range of 480-520 HP is possible.

Improved Blade Geometry: The IM500 series' high-flow compressor and turbine wheel design provides less turbo lag and faster spool time.

Optimized Air Flow: The enlarged inlet port and high-flow compressor housing allow the engine to draw in more air.

🔊 T51R Whistle Modification – Iconic Turbo Whistle

Thanks to the T51R feature, the iconic “whistle” sound that occurs when you cut the throttle or under load sets your vehicle apart from the rest, both on the track and on the street.

Mechanically machined inlet port delivers a natural, non-choking tone.
