Need advice with my path to FBO ...
So I know what I want, relocate intakes, but I just don't know what goes with them.
Right now I just have the cheap charge pipe that uses the stock diverter valves. So I'll have to get a new CP aswell,,, really don't want psshhh sounds, is what it is though. Anyways, I also have (yet to be installed) downpipes and an intercooler (5" stepped). And after watching a few videos it looks like the inlets are pretty involved install process and you have to remove the downpipes. So am I correct in that I may as well do everything at once to save time? And is there anything I should be looking at with all this? Purchase list: relocate inlets charge pipe with pssshhh device ? |

When I had n54, I went with the evolution racewerks chargepipe and forge diverter valves since I didn't want the blow off sound. Inlets are a more involved process and harder to reach since room is limited. I always recommend doing as many things as possible together to save money and time. Another member with more experience installing relocated inlets might be able to chime in, but I believe you'll need to get the washer fluid reservoir relocation unit as well.

i have inlets. installed them myself. so let me ask you this.
Have your turbos been replaced? is the car still under warranty? i would consider those 2 things before inlets. everything else is easily reversible. inlets require you to essentially cut off your rear inlet rendering it unusable so replacing it with a new stock one would probably be a royal pain if you decide to sell the car or go to the dealer for warranty work. so i would basicly install everything else and rethink the inlet install unless you having turbos replaced or upgraded. just throw K&N filter in stock box.

well if your not worried then there are a few kits out there ranging from 300-1500$ i would look for one with the diesel coolant tank relocation kit. i think burger just made a chargepipe that works with that as well.

What mods do you currently have?
You can get an upgraded charge pipe that uses OE diverter valves, no need for the BOV

I plan on doing the relocate inlets.
So yes I could go the DV route, but space is very limited for them, and aesthetically I think it looks poor. Right now mods are DP's, exhaust, charge pipe + stock DV's, intercooler, e-85 tune (21psi). So inlets and a matching CP are all I have left. Then onto suspension. |
