Phantom S1 – B48 Turbo (Stage 1)
Esse Werks Phantom Series Turbochargers
Factory Fit. Faster Spool. OEM+ Reinvented.
The Phantom S1 is the stealth upgrade that keeps everything you love about the stock B48 turbo — but corrects what BMW didn’t. Designed for maximum compatibility with zero tuning, plumbing, or mounting changes, S1 refines your car’s response and reliability with modest increases peak power output.
What you gain is faster spool, smoother transient behavior, and peace of mind at elevated temperatures — all wrapped in OEM fitment and control logic.
What’s Inside:
Factory B48 turbo core, fully built completely brand new with upgraded internals
Optimized bearing and flow path geometry for improved responsiveness
Hotside and integrated manifold are ceramic coated for superior heat management and durability
Built to run under stock ECU, wastegate, and emissions systems
Install and Go.
No boost control mods, no hardware issues, no tuning required. Just install it, flash if desired, and enjoy a refined driving feel.
Phantom Identity:
Every Phantom S1 is:
Etched with a unique serial ID
Supplied with a scannable QR code linking to your turbo’s digital build sheet
Tracked in the Esse Werks Phantom Registry for authentication, documentation, and resale peace of mind
Target Performance:
Supports up to ~350hp, depending on fuel, tune, and supporting mods
Noticeable gains in spool speed, consistency, and heat resilience
Ideal for: Daily-driven builds, mild tunes, and owners looking for long-term turbo reliability with subtle drivability improvements under aggressive driving.
Add Custom Tuning from the Engineers Who Designed the Turbo
For the ultimate in performance, reliability, and seamless integration, you can bundle your Phantom Series turbo with a custom software calibration (+$400) developed by the same engineers who designed and validated the hardware.
This isn’t a generic off-the-shelf tune — it’s a precision-matched strategy built specifically for your Phantom turbo, your fuel, your mods, and your goals.
What’s Included:
One-on-one calibration based on your logs, mods, and driving style
Fine-tuned boost, timing, torque modeling, and throttle response
Seamless integration with your factory ECU and sensors
Remote support during flashing and testing
Optional datalog review and revision post-install
💡 Why it matters: The Phantom Series was built from the inside out — software and hardware developed together. No guesswork, no chasing issues, just optimized performance from day one.
