So are you saying increasing the boost by 4-5psi on a stock turbo N55 motor it will blow? Aren't the N54 guys pushing close to 500hp on stock engines.
Unfortunately the differences between the n54 and the n55 are way more than just a different turbo set up and valvetronic. The n55 swapped out some internals to save some weight.
