Supporting mods for VTT stage 1 turbos?

[Hermtheworm]

Hey guys, recently purchased a set of VTT stage 1 turbos for my N54 135i and I'm wondering what kind of supporting mods are necessary to run these turbos smoothly, I'm already in the works of ordering silicone inlets and I have the following done to the car= Charge pipe, Dual cone intakes and JB4. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

No mods is mandatory, but to take full advantage of the turbo, I recommend the basic bolt-on (tune, charge pipe, intercooler, intake, and downpipe) + inlets and outlets.

this is something I'm working on for sure, already have inlets waiting to go on the car though I stayed away from outlets for the time being as I read a post from one of the RB turbo guys saying they're not recommended for anything under 520 whp. I was also wondering if with these new hybrid turbos I'm gonna need a professional tune or not ?

Sorry let me rephrase. Custom tune. Not a professional tune by any means haha. Just something other than an OTC tune like I'm running at the moment.

yes a custom tune is needed to take full advantage of the upgraded turbo
