which was most beneficial? and where do you think a good place to start is? intake exhaust then a comp reflash? what was your main attack mode? also did you get anything you would not do again?

Suspension first. Then a tune and CP. You can add the DP, intake, stage 2 lpfp, FMIC, and exhaust if you're bored.

thank you for the serous replies, with the charge pipe is it best to do intercooler as well? and as far as computer work is it really necessary? Also what is the best tune? I know there are many options, Piggy back versus a full tune?

Yes, the FMIC is a must on hot sunny days. Otherwise you may go into limp mode of you're going wot. Computer work? You mean a tune? The Cobb and JB4 have different advantages. You can't go wrong with either one. I have both but I'm waiting for MHD to provide some information soon on their plans with our platform. Piggyback is great for built in oil protection, adjusting boost settings for each gear, boost safety feature, and more. Plenty of information on N54tech. The downfall for us is we can't monitor all six cylinders like the Cobb. The Cobb has terrible ots maps. I'd get a protune to fully take advantage of your mods and fuel supplements. The protune has a stock like feel compared to the JB4.

MHD to provide what information? They are tuning the N54, not the N55, so I don't think you guys will have a chance to take advantage of their tune. The N55 computer is the culprit as far as I know, it's much harder to crack it from what I have heard. You'll have to give it some time, someone will certainly come up with a better alternative than Cobb or Jb4.

MHD is currently looking into the developments for our vehicles. MHD confirmed it. I have a screen shot of both posts. The N55 is slower stock due to the little snail they decided to put in this engine. Tuning has come a long way, however, I'd love to see more developments of controlling the vanos. I mean the N55 has only been out five years but plenty of options are becoming available.
