Yes, N55 is the newer motor. I went from a 08' N54 to a 11' N55 and now to a 12' N54. I had my N55 almost FBO and I wasn't happy with the tuning capabilities of it.

Some Main Reasons: (Not trying to open up a huge debate)
- N55 = Cast Internals N54 = Forged
- Stock N55 Turbo is too small to squeeze much more HP out of it.
- For the money I put into the N55 I could have had a 380-400 hp N54.
- No DP Fix Mod available for the N55 yet.(Correct me if i'm wrong)
