The turbocharged B46/B48 engine in your BMW is built to perform reliably and efficiently, but the engineers still left some room for improvement. Upgrading the charge-air piping has 2 main benefits:
Improved Reliability: BMW B-Series engines use a plastic pipe to route combustion air from the turbocharger to the top-mount intercooler. The factory plastic pipe is a common failure point. With age and constant heat cycles, the plastic becomes brittle and develops cracks, resulting in boost leaks, check engine lights, and poor running conditions. Included installation hardware, seals, and a set of robust 3-ply silicone couplers prevents air leaks, adding extreme durability under heavy loads.
Increased Performance: Replacing the molded plastic charge-air pipe with a smooth aluminum FTP charge pipe improves throttle response and reduces turbo lag. This charge pipe also features a 1/8" NPT threaded port for water/methanol injection.
This kit is designed to fit BMW F22/F23 230i (2016-2021), F30/F34 330i (2016-2018), F32/F33/F36 430i (2016-2020), G20 330i (2019+), G22/G23/G26 430i (2020+), G30 530i (2017-2023), G01 X3 30i (2018-2023), G02 X4 30i (2018-2023), and G29 Z4 30i (2019-2025).
