Charge pipe upgrade on N55 - which one?

4 months ago· 21 posts

Stock charge pipe on N55 is known to crack under boost. Looking for an upgrade: 1. VRSF aluminum charge pipe (~150 EUR) 2. BMS aluminum charge pipe (~120 EUR) 3. FTP Motorsport charge pipe (~100 EUR) All seem similar. Is there actually a difference or should I just get the cheapest one? Main thing is it doesnt crack like the stock plastic one.

Great cheat sheet! Can you share the FDL values for ambient lighting unlock? I have a G20 330i and want all colors.

The stock N55 charge pipe is made of plastic and WILL crack under boost with a tune. Its not a matter of if, but when. The VRSF aluminum charge pipe is the most popular upgrade - about 120 EUR and takes 30 minutes to install. Burger Motorsports also makes a good one. This should be the first mod you do before any tune on the N55.
