Slowly moving along with the headlight project. Fingers are bleeding which means progress is happening(for the most part)! I think I have studied the coding to the point where I almost understand it clearly. Next up is some cleaning and then final assembly.

Polished tips.

I drove her. Made a 150mile loop, up the coast, then inward into some twisty roads

The bugs are out in full force

[unrulyteach]

And they said n55 don't need catch can

[OnlyDriveGerman]

Much needed post winter wash(covid postponed), inside is spotless after a cleaning and conditioning and so forth, then tunes during an occasionally spirited drive. Mid 60's in CT, great day for it.

Everyone thought I was a little insane to drop the transmission to do the shifter bushings (pins were seized)

Apparently my clutch needed to be done...

Wow, what a mess..

[kwatkins12]

Put new plugs and coils in. Found the source of a boost leak and sound I had been hearing was from the intercooler elbow being pushed against against the power steering pulley and belt, courtesy of the shop that fixed my car when a rock went through the front bumper.

[PsyCLown]

Nothing yet, although looking at trying to run some cabling for my sound install.
Issue is we are in lockdown in SA and I cannot purchase any tools and I do not have a large torx set, only a time one for laptops and such.

I knew the DMF is known to sling grease everywhere once they let go, but holy hell I didn't realize there was that much in there.

I think it's tried to make itself a lwfw lol

[Soden82]

Bought a bunch of parts so just waiting for arrival. New 3.5" vacuum lines, VRSF race IC, MMP downpipes, ATM exhaust, and VRSF inlets.

Get the VRSF outlet too

Got my spoiler wrapped and roof wrapped both in gloss black

Is that worth it on stock turbo running port meth in the future?

[Serf27]

Installed Index 12 injectors and new coil packs today.

FINALLY put the N54 back together.
After new 3.5mm vacuum lines
Valve cleaning
Bigger bov line
Dual Catch can set up with external PCV
Oil cooler retrofit.

I thought I’d feel a major difference with the external PCV and clean valves.
WHAT A JIP! Power delivery felt a tinyyyyy bit smoother at wot but not night and day as others online have stated.

On stock turbos, outlets will give you minimal gains. However, it will set you up nicely when you purchase stage 1 or 2 turbos in the future. In addition, you are probably prolonging the life of the OEM turbos by making the system more efficient by allowing more air to travel from the turbos to the FMIC. The turbos do not have to work as hard.

By adding inlets, you are forcing considerably more air in the turbos, but they can not push the hot air out as fast! By adding 2" outlets, you allow the turbos to push the hot air out at about the same rate you are pushing in the cold air.

I had a deer run into the side of my car this morning. I was able to come to a complete stop, but the deer decided it was going to keep running and it hit the front drivers side fender. I was able to pop the dent out, but you can see a slight ripple in the fender..... I think i'm just going to call it a day!

That is very true. My ultimate goes is to go with a single turbo, but I figured for $400 might as well get downpipes and inlets for now while I allocate everything for a big single and do all my PM. Considering I'm trying to buy a home and get married soon, the car might be like this for at least a year or two until I pull the trigger on a single turbo set up.

You sure you want to get a single? You start going over 600hp, especially 700hp then you start burning through internals.
