N54 top mount kit in n55 car

[Grainwashed]

Is it possible? I’m not seeing very many options for top mount kits for my n55 car and no reviews for the ones that are available. If I could use a more established setup with more information that would be great

Why top mount? Your car is optimized for bottom mount single which is massively preferable for a number of reasons.

That said, could always look into using a top mount kit and having an exhaust fabricator modify it for a N55 turbofold flange set. Number of other fitment issues could arise with quite a list of pipe/tubing and pump relocations though as I'm not familiar with the differences in cooling/accessory locations between the two engines.

I’m pulling the engine eventually and building my block, want to go with top mount for a bigger and more easily serviced turbo
