I don't know the details, but supposedly they had a guy with n55 to do this, but he backed out or something. So when I popped in to ask "how the hell can I make this as fast as my N54 buddy who is always giving me hell?" he said well, we could do bigger turbo. we want to, but we only have the N54. I said "do you need a guinea pig?" and bam! Within 24 hours I was in.

Not a ton of N55 tuner guys around. I think Everyone who wants to tune has found themselves an N54

Its a five inch. the inlet tube had a major blockage of flow. essentially at the elbow some flat aluminum from the end cap construction was protruding directly into the pipe and direction that air flows. So MAP cut off the inlet and modified it so there is a 100% smooth bore from the inlet, through the end cap, and the outlet.

The custom grill, visor, tail lights, 3002 badge are all DIY projects I did myself

I regret, kinda to say that this project is no longer going to happen. Tuner has changed directions with their shop and could not estimate when they may be able to get to this project started. Additionally, the Pure turbo group buy was too good to skip. Thought I should let everyone know, so you can delete this thread.
