Lines are finished. We had custom billet spacers made for the drain, and the feed line uses a steel Aeroquip hose end modified to work with the stock feed line, couple that with the near stock fitment of the outside water line and you basically have stock appearing fitment except for the inside water line which once everything is assembled, is impossible to see. We will also be using black push loc hose not the blue you see to make it even harder to detect when taking your car in for service.

We have to use these lines to create another set as far as lengths and clocking etc, then we can finish the install. It wont be this weekend as we are waiting on a batch of factory feed lines to come in, and if we installed these we would have nothing to work off of. As soon as the feeds come in we can make our quality control set we will use as jigs for all the production sets going out with the upgrades and we can finish the installation.

Each upgrade, will come with the billet spacer, all lines and hardware to install these lines, including new viton o-rings for the push in fittings, and full instructions with pictures on how to install the lines, etc. We can include the other gaskets needed for the install, such as the head doughnut gaskets and down pipe gaskets at an additional cost.

Have a good weekend everyone, this thing will be up and running next week sometime.

Can you let us know what turbo kit you're testing? What's the estimated power with this kit?
Thanks!

I am wondering what kind of kit THIS test vehicle is getting installed. That is all. There is no search. If you read the title, this is the N55 test car install thread itself.

If you know, why don't you just tell me then?

/e: He mentioned in one of his older threads a kit would be capable of up to 500 whp, I believe. I am wondering if this is the same kit.

as he said search, the N55 section is not very big and there are numerous threads about this upgrade that answer all your questions and more. Including a direct comparison with the RB options.

Every vargas n55 thread is about the same upgrade. There is only one

Vargas.
There are different part numbers for the turbo. Can I just buy any Turbo with a part nr as long as it fits the N55 Turbo Left-handed drive?

Maybe wait for dyno numbers first. Also, tuning options aren't available for newer models atm

Yes you can, any N55 LHD turbo should be fine, it's possible even the RHD models are the same as well. We have not seen one yet.
