Might be worthwhile getting a quote on install by some who has worked on N54's beforehand. I was put off them after the install quote was twice the price of the product. It's not difficult, just a labor intensive process. I wouldn't mind installing them myself but finding a spare 6-8 hours is the issue.

I have installation covered, and can offer Sydney siders the service for almost half what you may pay in a workshop. PM me for more details

Ideally you would be FBO at a minimum, with preferably upgraded turbo's.

Gains can be anywhere between 10-50whp depending on your setup and tune.

In

Can I just pay him directly?

Btw peeps, if you want to save on Paypal fees and get a better exchange rate. Do transferwise. I know i'll get a far better deal this way than through Paypal.

Might help others if they know the total AUD price.

Total price is: $698.83 for $530 USD to AUD. Paypal fees would be on top of this, so 1-2% more.

lol.. Ask him if he would accept a direct deposit. (that is what Transferwise is).

I transfer to their AUD account. They transfer to the USD account. He just needs to give his routing and account number, exactly like a direct debit / wire transfer.

FYI Tony doesn't need Transferwise. It doesn't work like Paypal.

Yes I'm aware, group buy is cancelled.

I'll personally be waiting to see what RB inlets look like before making a purchase
