If you’re diving into the world of high-performance tuning for your BMW, you might want to take a closer look at the Evolution Racewerks Diverter Valve Charge Pipe. This isn’t just another shiny piece of metal; it’s a game-changer that comes straight from the lessons learned on the racetrack, specifically from the Evolution Racewerks 135i Time Attack program. The factory diverter valves just can’t handle the high boost applications we’re all chasing after, which is why this upgrade is crucial.

One of the biggest issues with the stock setup is that pesky sound baffle in the factory charge pipe. It splits the airflow and creates turbulence, which is the last thing you want when you're trying to maximize throttle response and minimize turbo lag. This charge pipe eliminates that baffle, allowing for smoother airflow, which means quicker throttle response and more power. You’ll really feel the difference when you hit the gas.

But it’s not just about removing the baffle; the design is spot on. We’re talking about lightweight, high-grade 6061 aluminum piping that’s matched to a 3-inch throttle body. The precision CNC machined flanges ensure a leak-free connection, so you can trust that every bit of air is getting where it needs to go without any hiccups. Plus, it retains the factory-style o-ring throttle body lock flange, making installation a breeze.

And for those of you thinking about taking your setup to the next level with methanol or nitrous, you’re in luck. This charge pipe comes with a 1/8" NPT bung for easy integration of injectors. It’s perfect if you’re not ready to commit to methanol injection just yet but want the option down the line. Each bung even comes with a plug, so you can run it however you like.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’re getting:

• 1/8" NPT bungs for easy methanol or nitrous injector installation.
• Enhanced throttle response and reduced turbo lag.
• Compatible with both factory and aftermarket diverter valves.
• Precision-engineered to prevent any boost leaks.
• Beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to keep everything secure under pressure.
• All necessary hardware included for a full installation.
• Developed under the extreme conditions of racing, so you know it’s built to last.
• Comes with a limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind.

This charge pipe fits the BMW 335i Twin Turbo N54 Engine from 2006-2008, and if you’re driving a BMW 135i from 2008, you’re covered too. Just keep in mind that the images are for marketing purposes, so the actual product may vary a bit.

In short, if you’re serious about performance and want to squeeze every last bit of power from your BMW, this charge pipe is a solid investment. It’s all about maximizing airflow and minimizing lag, and once you’ve got it installed, you’ll wonder how you ever drove without it.
