Also, I just found a after-intercooler-chargepipe provision by ER, link below:
https://www.rgsportshop.com/BMW/BMW-...1953&limit=100 Does anyone have any experience with this? I want to buy this because on my Wagner FMIC, if I use stock after-intercooler chargepipe, it gets squished a little bit to fit, and it at times kicks the intercooler joint loose, and I'd have issues maintaining boost.

Car's been running strong still. I sure don't miss those few months when car really struggles to fire well under load. Those fish-bite jerks really scared me. So glad it's all over now.

No problem. And good luck. Hope this solves your problem the same it did mine. You can't imagine the relief I got after getting these to fully resolve my issues.

Anyways, planning to zip everything back together by Thanksgiving weekend. I'll only have the weekends to work on it, so it'll be a bit slow for me, despite how well I already know my way around the N55 motor.

I bought 6 more today, though I'll only need 2. I do have an N52 E90 which uses the same. So if any more coils chokes, I'll have plenty of spares to get by.

Last Saturday I finally get the chance to put this aftercooler chargepipe into the X5. Fitment is perfect; although the insertion into the intercooler may seem a little loose, the seal did its job without any issues. But I'm glad to finally find something like this to put on the car; it completes the after-turbo plumbing upgrade to all metallic piping. This is my piping setup: - Turbo out into intercooler - FTP charge pipe - Intercooler out and riser into upper chargepipe - ER - upper chargepipe going onto throttle body - VRSF I haven't the chance to try this assembly on the Wagner intercooler, yet. because when I put everything together, I was coming from a engine head replacement. So by the time I was done with the head and got the timing chain clocked in, I was in a mild rush to put everything back together to get the car on the road again. And I didn't want to risk using the Wagner intercooler with a feeling that fitment "may" be off as usual and get some air leaks. I'll be running my stock intercooler and leave MHD on stage 2 for now. Once I'm comfortable with the test of time, I'll put the Wagner in and if there aren't any leaks, I'll then flash it to Stage 2+. At this point I feel like ever since the forged internals rebuild, this is the first time ever that the car's been running right and strong. So I'll be looking for less modifications to do trying to maintain some sanity with this motor. The N55 sure is quite temperamental to deal with.
