I've replaced my boost solenoid and I know that two vacuum lines run off of that unit, so I can follow those lines and replace them. Are there others I should be looking for?
I asked myself your exact question. After plugging in the last seven of my VIN on realoemdotcom, I replaced the least expensive and most likely failure points i.e. the rubber composite tubing. The hose/tubing develops both memory brittleness after a few years of exposure to heat, etc. that makes reusing/reattaching the tubing without leakage (e.g. turbo to valve cover) questionable.
I have not come across a dedicated DIY for the N55 platform.
