What do you consider full bolt-ons...?
I've seen alot of E9X N54 vehicles that claim to be full bolt-ons in their descriptions (especially on YouTube)... what is considered "full" bolt-ons for our vehicles?

It depends on if anyone want to criticize or justify something....lol
FBO is standard term meaning you have an upgraded FMIC, Intake (DCI, or CAI), and Downpipes (catless or highflow cats) When someone says he is "heavily FBO", including the above, it denotes he is using meth and is completely catless or has an upgraded exhaust |

Tune, Intake, Downpipe, Intercooler, Exhaust.
Although on this car the cat back exhaust portion is sometimes not required to be considered FBO since it doesn't add too much power. "FBO in general means you opened up all the intake and exhaust side of the car but left the intermediate (engine) alone". In this platform if you have upgraded turbo's, methanol injection, and or E85 it's a bit beyond FBO generally speaking. Although you can run E85 and not be FBO and same goes for Methanol Injection. |

oh okay, it seems like theres no solid mods list when it comes to full bolt-ons. i was seeing it so much in descriptions i thought the list might be a bit more concrete, as it was in the LSx world before I switched over. but i did like the intake open/exhaust open definition...

this (and tune of course)
Charge pipes/BOVs and catbacks don't do enough to exclude cars without them. 90% of the time these are added for reliability and sound even if a catback does add a few meaningless hp. Personally if you have tune, DP, intercooler and drop in filter your close enough.. |

FBO: Tune, Intake(s), Down pipes, Charge Pipe, FMIC, Cat back exhaust, Meth, Fuel system upgrades. Shouldn't call it Full Bolt On if you don't have ALL of the Bolt On parts.

This is why I prefer "stages" which have defined minimum requirements...or just listing all mods lol

That's a really good question. I think we need to come together as a group and really determine what the hell is Stage 1, Stage 2, etc. so there isn't any confusion anymore. Get a poll going and get feedback from some of the other boards?
