Any thoughts on this?

Guy says it'll bolt on the the n52. I don't know how true this is, but I'm very intrigued.

Seeing as the N54, N55 and N52 all have different exhaust bolt patters I highly doubt it will fit.

Not a chance it will fit. Drilling the holes to make it fit will leave you with a headache too, so I wouldn't bother.

I don’t get why people keep wanting to turbo a N52. What’s next... N/A N54’s?

Just buy the car that already has all the solutions in place. There is no case where fitting a turbo on a N52 makes sense vs trading into a N54/55. The price difference of trading up will put you at least a hundred hours and thousands of dollars ahead.

Don't laugh, there was a whole thread regarding the N54 power output without turbos.

Sick idea, but they had to talk about it.
