The chargepipe should result in slight power gains. I have yet to actually test it on the dyno so I'm going to hold off on official claims until I do. But judging by the design of the stock pipe and how we are running the turbo at it's absolute max flow limit, it's reasonable to expect to see 4-5whp from it. The larger radius bend, smoother transitions and larger diameter will definitely reduce pressure loss. And pressure loss reduction is even more important in the n55 than it is in the n54 which doesn't have such turbo limitations (ie, it can simply run more boost to overcome the pressure loss)
