If it doesn't you may also need to remove the resonator and get a higher flow muffler.

Does any one else find it sad the n54 FBO stock turbos was pulling the PS2 N55? Lol

Either that N55 isn't tuned correctly or isn't running proper fuel. PS2 doesn't shine unless paired with e85 or meth and/or fueling upgrades.

26psi should give him around 550whp ?
n54 stock turbo 500whp maxed out ?

ZF8 faster than ZF6 obviously.

Agreed

And I think N54 stock turbo maxed around 450whp is more realistic no??

he was only Tune and Inlets so its not like he was packing many mods. N54 is more powerful though with just a few mods vs our cars FBO

I dunno how the F30 N55 was doing 26 psi without fueling or meth.

you'd need to get rid of your resonator and stock exhaust for the best effect. a flash tune helps A LOT.

there's no way this guys car is tuned right because mine walks on tuned n54's all day long (when it actually works lol) but hopefully I can get a nice video up when I meet LINEUP and show what a properly tuned n55 can do.
