Plan A:
find a N55 engine and put full bolt ons (which idk what to put together yet) and maybe a bigger turbo
Plan B:
find a N55 engine and put full bolt ons and leave the turbo
Plan C:
Find a N54 and manual swap it with bolt ons and bigger turbo
All of this while swapping a full 1M body including quarter panels etc...
It's my daily driver and I would go to the track once a month. I'm looking to have a reliable build that's around the 500ish mark.
I need help with bolt on list and with the decision  |
Don't overlook "Plan D":
Put an LS in it
