Evolution Racewerks Diverter Valve Charge Pipe for BMW N55

If you're a proud owner of a 2011-2013 BMW 135i or a 2011 BMW 335i, you know that enhancing performance is key to unlocking your vehicle's true potential. The Evolution Racewerks Diverter Valve Charge Pipe is a must-have upgrade for those looking to improve throttle response, reduce turbo lag, and maximize power output. This high-performance part is designed specifically for the BMW N55 single turbo engine, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal function.

Why Upgrade Your Charge Pipe?

Many enthusiasts overlook the importance of charge pipes in their performance builds. The characteristics of charged intake airflow can significantly impact how your engine performs. The Evolution Racewerks charge pipe features smooth bends and minimal obstructions, crafted from lightweight 6061 aluminum and mandrel bent to ensure seamless airflow. With a 3" diameter, this pipe is designed to match the factory throttle body, which is a step up from the restrictive 2.5" factory pipe, allowing for maximum flow without any obstruction.

Precision Engineering

Evolution Racewerks has a reputation for quality, and this charge pipe is no exception. They were pioneers in replicating the factory throttle body flange design, ensuring a reliable connection. The factory diverter valve connects to the throttle body using an o-ring secured by a c-clip, making installation and removal quick and straightforward. During rigorous testing, this connection held up to 25 PSI without any signs of failure, proving its robustness.

Enhanced Connection Design

Unlike many competitors who opt for silicone hose connections, which can lead to leaks and failures under boost, Evolution Racewerks has engineered a precision CNC machined throttle body flange that maintains a factory-style connection. This ensures a leak-free fit and eliminates the risk of blow-offs that can occur with inferior designs. The same attention to detail applies to the MAP sensor flange, which also utilizes a factory o-ring seal to prevent boost leaks.

Future-Ready Features

For those considering methanol injection or nitrous systems, this charge pipe includes an optional 1/8" NPT threaded bung. This feature allows for easy installation of methanol or nitrous injectors, making it a versatile choice for future upgrades. Each bung comes with a plug, so you can run with or without the injector based on your current setup.
