If you’ve ever cranked up the boost on your ride and watched your factory charge pipe give up the ghost, you know the frustration all too well. But there’s good news—Evolution Racewerks has got your back with a charge pipe that truly stands up to the challenge. Say goodbye to that flimsy plastic piece and hello to a robust aluminum upgrade that’s built to last. Made from 100% 6061 high-grade aluminum, this charge pipe is not just tough; it’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty. That’s peace of mind right there.

Now, let’s talk about airflow. The way air moves through your system can make a huge difference in how your car performs. A smooth path means better throttle response and less turbo lag, which is exactly what you want. Evolution Racewerks designed this charge pipe with mandrel-bent piping to minimize obstructions and ensure that air flows freely. The upper pipe boasts a 2.75” diameter that aligns perfectly with your factory throttle body—compared to the stock 2.5”, that’s a noticeable upgrade for maximizing flow.

One of the standout features is the throttle body connection. Evolution Racewerks didn’t just slap on a silicone hose like some competitors. They replicated the factory throttle body flange, using an o-ring secured by a c-clip for a solid, leak-free seal. During testing, they pushed this connection up to 25 PSI without a hitch—though they stopped there because, well, one of the intake pipes blew off! But trust me, this connection is built to handle more than that.

When it comes to installation, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful design. The precision CNC-machined throttle body flange makes getting your charge pipe on and off a breeze. Plus, the beaded ends and T-bolt clamps keep everything securely in place, even under boost. And just in case you want to get fancy with methanol injection or boost sourcing, it comes with two 1/8” NPT bungs—pre-capped, of course.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:

• Improved throttle response and reduced turbo lag.
• Lightweight yet durable 6061 aluminum construction.
• Replaces the weak factory charge pipe that can’t handle high boost.
• Throttle body matched 2.75” piping for optimal airflow.
• Factory-style o-ring throttle body lock flange for easy installation.
• Precision CNC machined MAP sensor flange for a leak-free fit.
• Includes silicone hose and all necessary hardware for installation.
• Limited lifetime warranty for extra assurance.

This charge pipe fits a range of BMW models, specifically the 320i with manual transmission from 2012 to 2016, along with others like the 125i and 228i. Just keep in mind, this product is meant for off-road use only—so if you’re cruising on public highways, you might want to think twice.

In short, if you’re looking to boost your ride’s performance and ditch that factory pipe, this Evolution Racewerks charge pipe is a solid choice. It’s engineered to last, designed for performance, and built with the kind of attention to detail that any car enthusiast can appreciate.
