Intercooler

N55 (3.0T) E Chassis Turbo to Intercooler Charge Pipe (TIC)

$174.95

Finally, after numerous request by our customers we finally got it done!  Introducing our new Turbo to Intercooler (TIC) Charge Pipe for the 2010-12 BMW 135i/335i and 2010-15 X1 N55 Single Turbo Engine!

 

 

Polish Finish 

Ease of Installation: (1 Easy, 5 Hard) 2

Key Features:

  • Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag.
  • Lightweight High Grade 6061 Aluminum Piping. 
  • Replaces the factory plastic turbo to intercooler charge pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost.
  • Intercooler matched 2.5" piping.
  • Retains factory style o-ring lock flange.  Precision CNC machined flange ensures leak free connection to the turbocharger and intercooler.  Quick and easy connection and disconnection.  Ideal connection compared to the silicone hose and hose clamp connection found in all other aftermarket charge pipe upgrades available in the marketplace.
  • Charge Pipe features beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost.
  • Silicone Hump Hose included.
  • Optional Type III Hard Black Anodizing (for stealth and OEM look).  Hard anodizing helps improve durability of intercooler piping.  Resists bent or dented piping.
  • Includes all hardware for complete installation.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Our new turbocharger to intercooler (TIC) charge pipe replaces that plastic factory pipe that can break under high boost with a new 6061 aluminum (lightweight) mandrel bent piping. Often ignored, charged intake airflow characteristics greatly affect throttle response, turbo lag and ultimately maximum power potential.  Smooth bends and minimal obstructions are ideal.  Airflow in a pipe tends to travel in the outer edges of the pipe.  Hard piping like our TIC charge pipe keeps the inner diameter of the constant and prevents it from ballooning or collapsing.  The results?  Better throttle response and decreased turbo lag!  Pair it with our N55 Charge Pipes and have full metal hard piping in your entire intercooler system!

 

 

Type III Hard Anodize Black Finish

Our TIC charge pipe utilizes the factory style o-ring locking connectors.  This allows an easy plug and play swap with either your factory intercooler or upgraded intercooler.  Our TIP charge pipe kit comes with everything needed for installation and comes with our "Limited Lifetime Warranty".

 

Factory Style O-Ring Locking Connectors.

N55 (3.0T) Charge Pipe

$249.95

Introducing our new Diverter Valve Charge Pipe for the BMW N55 Single Turbo Engine!  Fits all BMW 135i, 335i and X1.

Polish Finish with 2 Methanol Bungs

Type III Hard Anodize Black with 1 Methanol Bung

Ease of Installation: (1 Easy, 5 Hard) 1

Key Features:

  • Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag.
  • Lightweight High Grade 6061 Aluminum Piping.
  • Throttle body matched 3" piping.
  • Retains factory style o-ring throttle body lock flange.  Precision CNC machined throttle body flange ensures leak free connection to throttle body.  Quick and easy connection and disconnection to throttle body.  Ideal connection compared to the silicone hose and hose clamp connection found in all other aftermarket diverter valve upgrade pipes available in the marketplace.
  • Precision CNC machined MAP sensor flange ensures leak free connection.
  • Diverter Valve Charge Pipe features beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost.
  • Optional Type III Hard Black Anodizing (for stealth and OEM look).  Hard anodizing helps improve durability of intercooler piping.  Resists bent or dented piping.
  • Compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve.
  • Includes all hardware for complete installation.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Often ignored, charged intake airflow characteristics greatly affect throttle response, turbo lag and ultimately maximum power potential.  Smooth bends and minimal obstructions are ideal. We used 6061 aluminum (lightweight) mandrel bent piping to ensure smooth transitions.  3" piping was used to match up to the factory throttle body (factory pipe is 2.5"), ensuring maximum flow without obstruction.

We were the first manufacturer to duplicate the factory throttle body flange with our N54 charge pipe.  We bring the same thing to the N55 charge pipe.  During our research and development, the connection at the throttle body was looked over very carefully.  The factory diverter valve is connected to the throttle body using an o-ring inside the throttle body flange which is locked in place by a c-clip, which works very well.  It also make removal/installation quick and easy.  Our testing had shown it could hold quite a bit of boost.  During our testing, we had pressure tested this connection up to 25 PSI.  The reason why we stopped at 25 PSI was because at 25 PSI, one of the intake pipes on the turbo blew off and we could not test any higher.  Hoewver, we were confident that it would easily hold over 25 PSI as the throttle body flange showed no signs of failing.  Also, keep in mind, this type of connection is used throughout the engine, in many crutial areas like the coolant radiator system as well as the clutch system.  If BMW did not believe in the durability of this type of connection, they would not use it in such important areas.

Precision CNC machined throttle body flange ensures boost leak free connection

Many of our competitors use a silicone hose connection for the throttle body connection.  It is not designed for a silicone hose connection which is used by all the other brand diverter valve pipe upgrades in the market.  The throttle body lip is too short and there are no "beads" to prevent the silicone hose from blowing off under boost.  Even though it is the easiest way to  "rig" together, it is not ideal.  The best way to connect the new diverter valve pipe to the throttle body is to replicate the same connection which we did.  We spent a lot of resources developing and manufacturing this factory style connection for this reason.

Precision CNC Machined MAP Sensor Flange ensures boost leak free connection

The same issue came with the MAP sensor.  The MAP sensor seals to the factory diverter valve pipe via a o-ring on the sensor itself.  Having a hole in a silicone hose will definitely cause a boost leak as it will not properly seal.  Therefore, again we CNC machined our own replica MAP sensor flange that utilizes the same factory o-ring seal.

Our Charge Pipe is available in the same 3 finish options as our intercoolers.  It is available in brush (plain) or mirror polish finish standard.  It is also available in our Type III Hard Black Anodizing for the  stealthy, factory look.  An added benefit of the Type III Hard Black Anodizing is that it hardens the aluminum piping and makes it more durable against damage (like dropping the pipe).

1/8" NPT Bungs (For Methanol or Nitrous Injectors):

With the popularity of methanol injection systems and nitrous systems, we have added the option of having a 1/8" NPT  threaded bung (for methanol or nos injectors) welded to our diverter valve charge pipe.  This allows quick and easy installation of methanol/nitrous injectors that are used in methanol injection systems and nitrous systems.  You have the option of adding 1 or 2 injector bungs.  Each 1/8" NPT bung will come with a plug so that you can run with or without the methanol injector.  This is perfect for those who do not have the Methanol Injection yet but plan to do so in the future.

1/8" NPT Bungs (for methanol or nitrious injectors).  Each bung comes with a plug (shown).

Options:

Add our new Turbo to Intercooler (TIC) Pipe to your Charge Pipe Kit and you will have full metal hard piping throughout your entire intercooler system.  The TIC Pipe Kit is discounted when purchased with the Charge Pipe Kit!  For more information about the Charge Pipe Kit, click here.
Add a replacement throttle body C-Clip.  If your factory throttle body c-clip is lost or broken, you will need to order this.  For more information about the Throttle Body C-Clip Replacement, click here.
