N54 intercooler on N55? Help

135TX · 08-14-2015, 02:01 PM

So another member has a N54 intercooler and the associated couplings and lower charge pipe, and im interested in purchasing it from him.

My question is will it bolt right up to my upper charge pipe?

I have a 2011 and spxxx has N54, not sure what year..

Help us out...

Thanks
Casey

Should we be okay? I pinged you earlier and I want to be sure I'm correct in my understanding that the late 2008/09 N54s use the same charge pipe connections as the N55s

If it is n54 or n55 specific, there are some differences that would make one incompatible with the other, such as inlet/outlet piping and length. Just buy an intercooler specific to your car.
