Are you talking about the 2006-2008 2.5i, or 2003-2005 2.5i? I'm assuming the latter, since you say you have a 2005.

The 2006-2008 N52 is a completely different engine than the 2003-2005 M54. Same displacement, different characteristics.

A supercharger is your best bet for more power.

I thought he meant what is the difference between the 06-08 2.5si and the 06-08 2.5i? They both have the N52 engine, but the si puts out 40 extra hp. I'm guessing different intake manifold and a tune. I've never heard of the 2.5i or 2.5si from 06-08 though...
