1 bar equals almost 14 psi so 3.5 bar equals roughly 50 psi.
Means i can go upto 50 psi boost.

The current sensor i guess max out at around 20-22 psi.

The price is around 100 USD.

Haha. ( kidding right ? )
Not at all.
You need a very big turbo for upgrading the sensor.

This is for someone going 600whp plus.
Let me know if you need any guidance on anything.

Was too difficult understanding things. Well i have made a list. Most of the things are on their way.

1. Precision turbo BB 6262 0.82 v band
2. Intercooler vrsf
3. Boost controller
4. Aem ethanol fuel pump
5. Bms intake ( installed )
6. Charge pipe. ( installed )
7. BOV
8. Wastegate
9. AEM wideband
10. Aem meth kit dual nozzle
11. NGK plugs 2 step colder
12. Boost solenoid
13. Tmap sensor
14. Phonix intake manifold
15. 750cc injectors
16. Custom exhaust manifold
17. Vrsf dnpipe
18. Hosings. Clamps. Linings etc
19. BM3 custom tune

1. Kindly have a look everyone and tell me if anything to add or if i am forgetting anything. Advices are open to all.

2. What max whp can i pull out of this setup?
i think you have alot of hopes and dreams bro... think im one of the most top modded n55s on this forum and it takes ALOT of maintenence to have before adding up all this power you are trying to gain. Ignore the maintennce especially HPFP, fuel injectors, fluid changes etc. your done. Phoenix Gold IM does nothing but for show. I have a EOS SPEED V2 Manifold in high gains are there. Have to look into a better grade of HPFP since the stock one will not hold the power you are trying to achieve. Combine that with upgraded wires, LPFP, Fuel Pump module and it gets costly.

Sell it and buy a 14+550i and run jb4+bcm that'll get you around 550whp or more with a little bit of e85.

You dont need an intake manifold till stage 2 turbos. The fun begins the day you plan to go stage 3 setup.

With pure stage 2 you can go for meth injection. The easy and cheap way to take full performance of the turbo.

Stage 3 turbo/turbo kit is like when you go above 600whp.
Than you have to change alot of things not just the turbo and manifold.
You can visit bigboostusa website and look at stage 3 turbo kits.
