If you’re looking to upgrade your BMW’s charge pipe, let me tell you about the Evolution Racewerks charge pipe for the N55 engine. This isn't just another silicone hose connection that you find with most competitors. Those things are a quick fix at best. The problem is, the throttle body lip is too short and lacks the necessary beads to keep that silicone hose in place when the boost hits. It’s like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. Evolution Racewerks took a different route and designed a solid, factory-style connection that actually works.

Now, if you’ve ever cranked up the boost and watched your factory charge pipe disintegrate, you know the frustration. But with this upgrade, made entirely from high-grade 6061 aluminum, you can kiss those worries goodbye. This charge pipe is built to last, and it’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty—so you can really put it to the test without fear.

What’s cool about this kit is that it’s not just about strength; it’s about performance too. The airflow characteristics play a huge role in how your car responds. With smooth bends and minimal obstructions, you’ll notice a significant increase in throttle response and a decrease in turbo lag. The upper pipe features a 3-inch diameter that matches the factory throttle body, which is a step up from the stock 2.5 inches. This means more air and more power without any hiccups.

During the development phase, Evolution Racewerks really focused on that throttle body connection. They replicated the factory throttle body flange design, which uses an o-ring sealed by a c-clip. This setup not only holds up well under pressure—holding up to 25 PSI in their tests—but also makes installation and removal a breeze. If BMW trusts this design in critical areas like the coolant and clutch systems, you know it’s reliable.

And let’s not forget about the MAP sensor. The stock setup can lead to boost leaks if the silicone hose fails to seal properly. Evolution Racewerks has you covered here too, with a CNC-machined MAP sensor flange that utilizes the same factory o-ring seal for a tight fit.

This charge pipe kit comes with both upper and lower pipes, so you’ve got everything you need for a complete installation. No half-measures here.
