If you've ever cranked up the boost on your ride and watched your factory charge pipe give up the ghost, you know the pain. But don’t sweat it—there’s a solid fix that’ll keep your power flowing smoothly. Say goodbye to that weak plastic pipe and hello to a robust aluminum charge pipe that’s built to last.
This isn’t just any aluminum; we’re talking about 100% 6061 high-grade aluminum, which is lightweight yet incredibly strong. Evolution Racewerks backs this with a Limited Lifetime Warranty because they’re confident you won’t have to worry about it breaking apart again. The design focuses on optimizing airflow, which makes a world of difference for throttle response and turbo lag, ultimately unlocking your engine's true power potential.
One of the standout features is the smooth, mandrel-bent piping that ensures minimal obstructions. The upper pipe is 2.75 inches, a step up from the factory's 2.5 inches, meaning you get maximum flow right where it counts. Evolution Racewerks was the first to replicate the factory throttle body flange for the N54 charge pipe, and they’ve brought that same expertise to the N20 charge pipe. They really paid attention to the throttle body connection, which uses an o-ring locked in place with a c-clip. This design not only makes installation a breeze but also holds up to some serious boost—Evolution Racewerks pressure-tested it up to 25 PSI without a hitch. They stopped there because, well, one of the intake pipes blew off, but they’re pretty sure it could handle even more.
Unlike many competitors that opt for silicone hose connections—which can be a bit sketchy—this charge pipe maintains a factory-style connection. The throttle body lip is designed to prevent any blow-offs under boost, which is crucial for maintaining performance. The beaded ends and T-bolt clamps on the charge pipe further ensure that everything stays securely in place, even when you’re pushing your car to its limits.
Plus, it comes with a silicone hose and two 1/8" NPT bungs (pre-capped) for methanol injection or as a boost source. It’s compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve and includes all the hardware you’ll need for a complete installation. Just remember, this piece is intended for off-road use only—so keep that in mind if you're hitting the streets.
