My official N54 turbo upgrade build

Rob@RBTurbo · 03-12-2010, 05:26 PM

Awesome!! What about manifold pressures, are you showing the gains with much higher boost or does it seem to be making more at the same psi?

a32guy · 03-12-2010, 05:26 PM

The car cranks! I tried to grab some video on my iphone as you were pulling away, but you guys left too fast. Congrats!!

Those gains are at higher pressure, but there is still room to go higher it seems. The billet wheels really came alive above what we were running on the stage 3 map

Solid gains 3k -> Redline, minimal loss down low. Torque gains as much as 60wtq. Above 5500rpm through redline we gained as much as 50-55whp. Peak HP was at around 6200rpms, 30-35whp gains throughout the RPM range down low.

today was a success, and there is more to come

That is amazingly good news for you and for Tial. Well done !!!

Dude - you need to pace yourself. If the numbers are too good right off the bat it'll drive pricing up

Sandbag it a little for the sake of the community!

I'm happy for other reasons as well.

i have a horrible feeling this is going to end up being priced out of reach for most of us

I am really hoping for 1-1.5k with trade of our original turbos

Donald-335i · 03-12-2010, 05:56 PM

ridin135 · 03-12-2010, 05:57 PM

cn555ic · 03-12-2010, 06:02 PM

cn555ic · 03-12-2010, 06:05 PM

If its 2000-2500, when its time to change out my turbos, you bet I will get these instead of the stockers, coupled with the HPF manifold and where cooking!

mwahlert · 03-12-2010, 06:06 PM

$1500 i wouldn't even have to think about doing it.

That price IMO I don't think it will happen, I hope but I already know its not!

jpsimon · 03-12-2010, 06:08 PM

Price won't be known for a bit (as it's not finalized), but in my opinion it's right on target to sell well.

2k would still even be feasible... any more than that and i don't think i could bring myself to do it.

the amount of money i have already spent on this car makes my stomach churn a little

Man, haven't you guys ever heard of anchoring? We should all be saying, "it better come in under $1k"
