Although BMW’s turbocharged engines are well known for being extremely strong and durable, there are components attached to the engine which aren’t so strong. The OEM charge pipes, in particular, are made of plastic, and they’re not designed to hold up to high boost levels. This isn’t a problem assuming your car is stock, but once you turn the boost up its only a matter of time before the OEM charge pipes fail. Luckily, Evolution Racewerks has a solution with their new BMW B46/B48 charge pipe kit!
These new charge pipes from Evolution Racewerks are made from high-grade aluminum piping with tig welds. On top of using a much stronger material, these charge pipes have smooth bends and minimal obstructions to ensure the best possible flow. The results? Better throttle response and decreased turbocharger lag. This charge pipe kit is available in 3 finishes. It is available in brush (plain) or mirror polish finish standard. It is also available in a Type III Hard Black Anodizing for the stealthy, factory look.
- Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag.
- Lightweight High Grade 6061 Aluminum Piping.
- Replaces the factory soft plastic charge pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost.
- Throttle body matched 3″ piping unlike other brands that use 2.5″ piping.
- Retains factory style o-ring c-clip lock flange. Precision CNC machined flanges ensures leak free connection to turbocharger and throttle body.
- Precision CNC machined MAP sensor and IAT flanges ensures leak free connection.
- Charge Pipe features beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost.
- Silicone Hump Hose included.
- Optional Type III Hard Black Anodizing (for stealth and OEM look). Hard anodizing helps improve durability of intercooler piping. Resists bent or dented piping.
- Compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve.
- Includes all hardware for complete installation.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty.
On top of all that strength, flow, and power, these charge pipes also have 1/8” NPT Bungs for methanol or nitrous injectors. This allows quick and easy installation of methanol/nitrous injectors that are used in methanol injection systems and nitrous systems. Each 1/8″ NPT bung will come with a plug so that you can run with or without the methanol injector. This is perfect for those who do not have the Methanol Injection yet but plan to do so in the future.
