N53 intake swap from N54

[martin_e60]

Hey everyone, I have N53B30 but it's the 218 hp without the 3 stage intake. I have been looking for all the options and found out about the n54 intake swap. I know the 3 stage intake makes more torque on the low and mid rpms but considering I have the non disa intake I doubt there will be difference. Also there won't be the 2 disa valves that tend to break. After some research I have found out that the n54 intake just bolts right onto the n53 head. The good news end here though. Since the n53 has EGR I will have to delete it and also I'd like to install an oil catch can. I couldn't find a lot of info for the EGR delete and the PCV system. If someone has done that and is willing to share some info I will really appreciate it. I know I will probably have to find someone to tune it after that any tips on this are welcome as well. I'm hoping to get around 280 bhp. I don't have cats but I will probably need to get new headers as well.
