First issue with the N55s is fueling, second stock intercooler. We also think the inlet pipe is a great upgrade, slowing down shaft speed on the turbo which in turn makes it more efficient and possibly provides more gains. We'd love to see the inlet pipe on a setup like this, just a bolt-on affair and redyno to see if the gains are there even at these 16.5-17psi boost levels. I have a feeling we'd see another 15-20 from it.
Just $275 too. Dooooo it!
