I've compiled a list of the parts I am looking at and linked them down below. I am also looking into an aggressive exhaust setup (that pops and crackles, but may need a tune for that) that doesn’t have that bad of droning lol.
Possibly thinking of going straight pipe just to experience max loudness lol, paired with a catless downpipe I’m pretty sure I will spit flames and it will be ridiculously loud. I would appreciate some great exhaust set ups that are aggressive, thanks ahead of time!
Please let me know your thoughts and if I should consider any other mods.
N55 JB4 - plug and play
VRSF 3.5″ Ceramic Coated Catless Downpipe -

VRSF Performance HD Intercooler Upgrade Kit 07-12 (Not sure if it will fit for 2013) -
Also should I get 5” or 7.5”

They are currently out of stock with the VRSF so maybe BMS?

BMS N55 Performance Intake -

I think that is pretty much good for me on internals unless I must have some other parts as preventative measures. Trying to achieve close to 380-400whp.
I appreciate any input you may have, once again thanks! |
All looks good but as
MatanKau said there is no BOV on the N55. The only thing you can do to upgrade the diverter valve is get a GFB DV+ (which I have and love, but requires access to turbo to install).
You'll likely be around 360whp-380whp with all these mods combined and running an ethanol mix.
I'd very much suggest doing the Charge Pipe ASAP as it absolutely will fail with increased boost of the JB4. Run only map 1 or map 5 until you've upgraded the DP AND IC.
Then do the rest in this order; intercooler, downpipe, exhaust, intake.
Hold out for the VRSF, it's been tested to be incredibly efficient over the other offerings, even more expensive options.
