I know you said fbo, but in the future if you decide you want more power, the pure stage 1 will get you around 400whp for under a grand, a pure stage 2 can produce 450+ Whp on 93 only, or 500+ with meth or e85. It’s around 2500 with the inlet pipe. The ps2 is the way to go... I have it on my Dct car and it is awesome.
Also I think 450whp in N54 is a bit optimistic with stock turbos, it is possible but the turbos won’t last long

Bingo
As far as I am concerned a new turbo upgrade is bolt-on. So a n54 can really use full inlets, but a n55 not so much. Plus a n54 requires two down pipes. N55 only one. So the question is , is fbo actually less money on a n55 than a n54 and can that extra money just go into an upgraded turbo? Which is really bolt on too.
