I am local to terry. But my N55 is in F32 chasis. 435i. I Can provide tons of data. Before and after dyno, Road racing, drag racing. Car is used as a track car and daily driver. I also have 15K followers on instagram and would love to help advertise the product and write reviews. Please let me know if you need a F3x tester.

Hopefully by this weekend we get it finalized.

Starting to feel like we are deceiving you all here but there must be an understanding, hopefully, as we have had major breakthrough last week on the N54 front. To be quite frank we can not see straight right now with only that business alone...

This is something we want to move along to just as bad as the next guy. Just a bit more patience.

Thanks,
Rob

Been at stop as the N54 has seen a massive order surge. When we can come up for air this has only like 4 hours left.

He is a business man, he has to follow the money. There is an option out now and another very soon.

Plus 1. Check into Pure, they do really good work and they maybe already into production with their Stage 2.

This is not saying we are not going to follow through, but JETmn has nailed it. We have orders pouring in on the N54 front and need to not let them slip away in favor of something that is much less demand. All we need to finish is to balance the unit and finish the inlet, so very minor efforts but that goes to show you how literally swamped we are with the N54.

We have about 20 N63 turbos here as well, in hopes that engine will get some love too. Unfortunately between tuning/fueling/turbos a lot of times there is much work to be done and it all takes time for each of these engines.

Congrats on the joy bundle and also on the new quest for the 550i! Maybe the mod bug will catch up later and things will be figured out a bit further.

Maybe we will reach out to Pure to get their inlet just to get this thing on its way sooner than later… thanks again for the kind words.

Not sure about the car being sold, he had just said a week or so ago he'd still be interested after understanding the further wait involved.

But no big deal, we are entirely overwhelmed with the N54 and see no end in sight so with that consider this as yet again an indefinite break from the N55.

BTW, anyone looking for an N55 offering go see Pure Turbo… they have a product that knocks out all others and at a great price point. Quite frankly we are a bit taken back and when we do revisit it will be with a fine tooth comb as we hope to be competitive with the Pure Turbo offering.
