Very Different N54 turbo upgrade - pic inside
Looks like some people overseas are having fun with the n54.
Setup looks pretty wild from a visual standpoint, but they seem to be pulling off amazing #'s before even tuning it properly. They're currently working on turning up the boost and dialing it in with Cobb and will probably have more #'s soon.

Very serious bends and look at the length of the piping.

I'd like to see the electric bill from all that welding. If they're planning to go into production with that, they might consider some tight-radius bends for starters.

With the exception of the rear turbo cold side pipe, which appears to just head into nowhere, everything else looks on point. Are you new to forced induction? Many old school JDM tuners used to use the same pie-cut and weld practice to build manifolds. Those bends are a great alternative to a "log style" of manifold, and will help greatly with keep exhaust velocity high.
Not defending this set-up, as i know dick about it, but everything looks "ok" as far as i can tell. |

If you go on other forums there are people sitting in their garage with a 2-4 of beer fabbing manifolds for cars running a lot faster than the n54. It might not give the best results possible, but that doesn't negate the fact that it will still be an upgrade and fairly large one. Quote:

Might be inefficient, but functionality and efficiency are two diff things. Turbos are from the same mitsu fam as we're all fairly accustomed to.

Hell yeah, i'd like to see this in the engine bay. Fortunately this one appears to be another hardware option not tied to a single tuning option. That's a VERY good thing.
I hope we find out how things go and if they too start encountering misfires.
