Will this help with performance ? E90 335i N55

Hey guys, will bigger turbo inlet pipe gain performance on E90 335i N55 ?

I am running MHD Stage 2plus, would i see any noticeable gains on this map or do i need to run custom map for it ?

It costs over 250euros, i think if its worth or not.
Thanks for info

You'd need a custom tune to take advantage of an upgraded inlet. You'll likely overboost without a custom tune.

IMO if you're already getting a custom tune you may as well, it's cheap and simple to install relative to an N54 but the turbo isn't going to be able to push much more air than it already is, as it's just out of its efficiency range up high when tuned.
