N55 Thermal Imaging

torr · 09-10-2014, 10:02 PM

Thought I would share a few photos of my N55 taken with a thermal imager.
Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with the BMS intake. The thermal imager was looking at aluminum and steel not plastic or intake filter. IMAGES FOR FUN ONLY NOT THERMAL ANALYSIS!!!!

You should take a shot w/ the stock intake airbox too after reaching normal operating engine temp..

did you install your Pure turbo yourself? i am just curious on how intense it is or easy. thanks

My Pure Stage One install was a little more involved due to replacing the turbo and manifold. The install is not that hard it just requires time and patience.

Does not matter how many time you mention it.
People will still turn it into a debate stock airbox vs BMS open intake

Thank you for sharing OP
