Not sure what you mean exactly, but the charge pipe doesn't do anything but provide meth bungs, and hold large amounts of boost. ~20ish psi, which is a few more than stock is completely fine on the stock charge pipe.
I mean in that the stock pipe is restrictive as hell and a common BMW failure point anyway. Any tiny gains from flow on the intake side are strangled in the stock pipe if it isn’t leaking out anyway. Since boost is a measure of restriction and not airflow itself, it technically should also help the turbo spool slightly easier as well since it improves flow characteristics. I’ve not run it through enough CFD yet to truly test it but eye test says it should work.
Your stock pipe isn't leaking boost, and there are literally no flow problems with it at all. The only reason to upgrade it is if it stock doesn't fit your turbo, intake manifold, you add port injection, or you need the bungs for meth or nitrous. You're not restricted there.
Yup! Pressure side.
No worries, just a friendly early morning debate on airflow. Not much else to do while reading through last nights emails and Slacks. I know the problem of the previous engines so was already planning on making sure I didn’t get hit with that again (I had a M440i and the pipe split down the spine). Personally I prefer smoother and quicker response to more power so I know we’re talking minute gains in the numbers but I’m more concerned with how those numbers are delivered.
You too, huh?
Why didn't you stop by and say hello?Got it lowered and drove to Chicago
What lip kit do you have. Also. What springs did u lower wGot it lowered and drove to Chicago
Hoping to get out to the track in April after getting some parts installed later this month. Should be the best test for them.
