Pure Stage 1 N55 install

Are there any install walkthroughs out there for the PS1 on an N55?

If not, is this done from the engine bay or underneath or both?

Google bmw n55 turbo install, all sorts of stuff will come up. They are mostly from here, the 3 series forum and you tube.
And to answer your question. You need to pull a ton of stuff off under the hood, then pull a ton more off underneath the car. I suggest a lift, I did my turbos on jackstands and I dont reccomend it, but its doable

Thanks buddy!

Of course I have searched. Of course I found that link. Of course I read through all 45 posts in that thread. Guess what? There are no install details in there. He had someone else do it for him.

This is for F series but nearly identical to E series. I used this and the model specific newtis info to do my PS1.
