Wedge, what kind of power are we possibly looking at when comparing both the N54 and N55 with stock snails? Are they now comparable?
I was lead to believe that the N55 stock snail was comparatively anemic, thus leading me to think that the turbo itself is smaller than what comes with the N55 M2. However I was recently made aware that this is false and that the turbo in the M2 is in fact the same.
Is this true? Are the turbo truly the same? If so, can we expect the same power/power curve with our E-Series N55 as in the M2? Has the unlocking of Valvetronic and VANOS systems allowed for more "untapped" power? With that said, can we expect an increase in stock snail power for the N55 than we're currently observing?
