The factory BMW charge pipes are prone to cracking, as they are made from brittle plastic. Here at Turner, we sell several brands of replacement charge pipes that are typically made from cast aluminum. We recommend upgrading to hard charge pipes even on stock forced induction vehicles to avoid cracking - we've seen cracking occur on high mileage cars running stock power just as frequently as we do with high horsepower builds.
Whenever upgrading your N54 Vargas suggest going to a true BOV like a Turbosmart Raceport. This cold side charge pipe allows you to do that while getting rid of the prone to cracking plastic charge pipe, and plastic DV’s. *Door Buster Special - New Product* The charge pipe is made from high-quality aluminum, tig welded, has two 1/8' NPT meth bungs, and a flange to fit Turbosmart Raceport The Raceport will include the proper orange spring pre-installed.
