In fact, I asked my SA about having it done and he told me they don't do it that often on the N55; NOTHING like the N54. He said they walnut blast the N55 only after all other avenues have been exhausted to solve a driveability issue.

From what I've read VW's are every bit as bad, if not worse, than the N54; Ford isn't much better. I haven't read anything on the other manufacturers as DI is relatively new to them. At least BMW have identified the issue and are correcting it.
have you eventually put one in brother? i'm thinking about going with one of the one's ECS Tuning sells
