From what I have seen gains only come when you're flowing alot of air which comes when making substantial amounts of power something not seen on a simple stage 2 tune and stock turbos.

Filters won't offer much of a gain for the N55 since the air box tube is tapered about 30cm past the air box when it is running parallel with the intercooler. So when the N55 intake does come restricting it is the whole unit itself not really the filter.

I heard BMC does make some nice filters, but its ~$125 for an m2 drop in filter which is more than half way (~$100) from an entire cold air intake replacement so personally I dont think it's worth it.
Running both SplineLock and Crank Bolt Capture.

The quality of BMC filters are fantastic when compared to others, especially in media and bleed/wick areas. Pure also offers a modified inlet pipe to get rid of the restriction.
