Are you searching for an N55 turbo upgrade for your BMW? There are some important details you might want to prioritize, depending on whether you want a turbo that supports 425WHP or up to 600WHP. If you’re interested in replacing some of BMW’s notably weak design decisions with an enhanced N55 turbo or you want upgraded parts that increase airflow, the right features can help improve your build.
Upgrading Stock Designs
There are a few design choices within the stock N55 turbo that you may want to upgrade. The stock DV parts, for example, are prone to cracking and leaking at higher power levels. The factory inlet area is small, and the design of the bearing housing oil structure and thrust bearing aren’t optimized. To upgrade BMW N55 turbo designs like these, keep an eye out for improved parts, especially if the turbo is cast to OEM-quality. That way, you get a stock-like turbo with impressive improvements.
Better Airflow
Increasing airflow without major changes to the design of your turbo means you won’t have to worry about fitting a new turbo where the old turbo was housed. Find a turbo manufacturer that replaces the compressor wheel with a custom reverse billet wheel and a turbine wheel featuring the latest aero technology to increase flow capacity, maximize spool and flow, and significantly reduce surge. These changes help your new BMW N55 turbo get plenty of airflow to redline, maximizing efficiency and power, especially when coupled with other upgraded parts.
What Is the Result of These Changes?
What can these changes achieve? Even drop-in turbos or kits with a quick, straightforward installation process can help improve your car’s performance. You get better airflow and a more efficient turbo, all while keeping stock spool instead of slowing down. Turbo surge, where the airflow reverses backward through the compressor and potentially stresses the turbo’s bearings and causes damage, can be all but eliminated. It’s serious N55 power made easy through clever design upgrades.
