It is offered in three sizes, from a 5-inch core for tuned stock-turbo cars to a 7.5-inch race core for big-turbo builds, and every version comes with E60-specific couplers and clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe N54 responds strongly to a tune, but the small factory intercooler cannot keep up with the extra boost. It heat soaks after a gear or two, intake temperatures rise, and the DME pulls timing. A VRSF core holds intake temperatures down pull after pull, so the car makes consistent power and has more margin against knock on hot days and long highway runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5-inch Performance HD core is rated to about 550 whp and is the best value for a tuned car on stock turbos. The 7.5-inch Competition HD is rated to about 850 whp, and the 7.5-inch Race HD is rated to about 1,100 whp for upgraded turbos and E85.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three cores use staggered, offset high-density fins and cast aluminum end tanks. Tabs keep the factory fan shroud in place, and extra mounting hardware adds support.
