For one, you *should* have more space in the engine bay to work with, less plumbing to deal with. The fuel pump is the same as the one used in N54 engines.

So, *theoretically* it should be easier from hardware stand point to upgrade the turbo on the N55. Now, software wise, noone really knows but I have high confidence in the tuners.
haha...im sorry, i meant to compare converting the n54 to single turbo. does the work look like it would be roughly the same as upgrading the turbo on the n55. there...the other stuff i figured was common sense in terms of upgrading the twins. :-) my bad.

im just almost sold on the dct trans.
