Isn't this what we're talking about? IC to Turbo piping?
no, this pipe sits between the intake and the turbo inlet

That's why I don't participate in these threads. Sorry for being an idiot

Any new updates on the inlet mod, in regards to performance/reviews? I've ordered one to be installed along with my FBO/JB4 setup. Even if its marginal increases, I like the fact that there's no "bottle necking" so to speak, and it's one less thing to worry about later!

Staying with the stock DV, though!

Reviving and old thread here. Does anyone have instructions on how to cut this if you went for option 1.

Anyone know... how exactly you get to the 10mm bolt at the turbo to remove it? I understand youre supposed to do it from the bottom but I cannot get to it. Have the belly pan and rack cover off. Does the turbo to IC pipe need to come off first? Whos actually done this? Car is an xdrive auto.

Thanks!

Has anyone on here used the MST inlet? Not sure if this was available when the thread started, and there's no mention of it on 2addicts for the n55. Seems like the best choice at the moment and reviews well on f30post

I have an xdrive and I drop the intercooler ( it's quick), disconnect the turbo outlet and pull it forward and down out on the way. A small ratchet with swivel 10mm from the top. You can 't do it if you have big hands, especially putting the nut back on requires good finger dexterity.
