Yea I have the same question...for my n55 135i, which one am I better off getting? I do mostly highway driving on rural roads, probably not going to track it too much, maybe like once this year for fun.

I plan on running 93 octane. I have a cp, dp, jb4, and intake already. No meth injection or anything like e85 or whatever.

5'' and 7'' same price...is there any advantage to the 5''?

The 5" is still better than stock. I went with 5" because I didn't want to have to do any cutting. If ur sticking with stock turbos 5" is fine. Try the vendors on here. I got mine from Mike@x-ph. Get the lower charge pipe upgrade as well

I have a 5" and it is perfect. 7" will have benefit most on the track.

I have the 7" the only pita was the trimming, but if you measure and don't just hack shit up it fits and works great.

5" should be more than enough for stock turbos
but since it is only 30$ more going fro 5" to 7" VRSF FMIC i would say get the 7"
