The cold side charge piping is horrible on the N54 and even worse on the N55, even at stock boost there are examples of failure. It's really not a hard install, I would strongly recommend upgrading the chargepipe and diverter valves regardless of boost levels. If you're worried about warranty issues, it can be fully reversed in an hour and it's one of those installs that becomes SO much easier after you've done it the first time.
