If you're serious about boosting your BMW's performance, you know the factory charge pipe can be a weak link, especially when you start cranking up the boost. That's where the Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe Kit comes into play. Unlike those other brands that rely on flimsy silicone hose connections—which, let’s be honest, just don’t cut it—this kit takes a different approach. Evolution Racewerks has put in the work to replicate the factory throttle body connection, ensuring a solid fit that won't blow off when you need it most.
Made from 100% 6061 high-grade aluminum, this charge pipe is built to last. I’ve seen too many factory plastic pipes fail under pressure, especially when you’re pushing your N55 engine to its limits. With this aluminum upgrade, you can kiss those worries goodbye. It’s lightweight but incredibly strong, and Evolution Racewerks backs it up with a Limited Lifetime Warranty—a nice peace of mind for anyone who’s serious about their ride.
Now, let’s talk about airflow. The design of the charge pipe matters more than you'd think. Evolution Racewerks has crafted smooth bends and minimal obstructions, which really helps with throttle response and reduces turbo lag. The upper pipe features a 3-inch diameter that matches up perfectly with your factory throttle body, compared to the restrictive 2.5-inch factory pipe. This means you’re not just getting a stronger connection; you’re also maximizing airflow to your engine.
During testing, they pushed this setup to 25 PSI—and let me tell you, it held up like a champ. They stopped there because one of the intake pipes blew off, not because the throttle body connection showed any signs of weakness. This connection method is used throughout the engine in critical areas, so you know it’s reliable.
Another common issue with charge pipes is the MAP sensor. Many aftermarket solutions leave you vulnerable to boost leaks thanks to poor sealing. Evolution Racewerks has thought of that too, CNC machining their own MAP sensor flange that uses the same factory o-ring for a tight seal. No more worrying about leaks ruining your hard work.
The kit includes both the upper and lower charge pipes, along with all the hardware you need for installation. It’s designed to be compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve, making it a straightforward upgrade.
