When you’re upgrading a turbocharged build and chasing power gains, one often overlooked but critical area is factory turbo plumbing. Many stock charge and intake pipes are made from plastic or rubber that can crack, expand, or leak under even moderate boost, especially once you start tuning for more performance. That’s where FTP Motorsport steps in — offering high-quality performance piping solutions engineered to eliminate weak points and strengthen your turbo system.

 What FTP Motorsport Offers

FTP Motorsport specializes in precision-engineered charge pipes, intake pipes, and performance plumbing kits that replace vulnerable stock components with robust aluminum alternatives designed for boosted applications. These upgrades are engineered to:

• Handle higher boost pressures without failure

• Improve airflow by reducing turbulence and restriction

• Enhance throttle response and turbo response

• Increase reliability for tuned or high-output builds

Every FTP pipe is built with thicker walls, smooth bends, and quality hardware — meaning fewer boost leaks and better performance consistency. Unlike fragile plastic OEM parts, these aluminum pieces are built to withstand heat cycling and stress, making them ideal for both street-driven and high-boost machines.

 Popular FTP Motorsport Upgrades

FTP’s catalog includes a variety of piping solutions tailored to specific BMW engine platforms (like N13, N20, N55, B48, B58, and S58), making it easier to find parts that fit your vehicle. Some of the standout upgrades include:

 Charge + Intake Pipe Combos

These kits replace both the charge pipe (between intercooler and throttle body) and the intake pipe (between air filter and turbo), delivering comprehensive airflow improvements. For example, the FTP B48 Charge Pipe & Intake Pipe Combo improves turbo response and mid-range power by eliminating expansion under boost and removing the restrictive OEM sound chamber — resulting in stronger, smoother airflow.

 Engine-Specific Piping Kits

FTP offers platform-specific kits such as the BMW N13 Charge Pipe + Boost Pipe V2, built from high-grade 6061 aluminum with precision CNC machining for secure, leak-free connections — complete with bungs for future upgrades like methanol injection or nitrous.

 BMW M40i Charge & Intake Combo

FTP also supports larger engines like the B58-powered X3/X4 M40i, providing enhanced airflow and reliability while preventing common boost failure points seen with OEM plumbing.

These kits are designed to be direct bolt-on upgrades, with complete hardware included for installation. Whether you’re building a car for daily driving or boosting for track use, FTP has components that make your turbo system more capable.

 Real-World Benefits

Swapping out stock pipes for FTP Motorsport aluminum components delivers tangible improvements that enthusiasts can feel on the road:

• Reduced turbo lag and sharper boost response

• Improved throttle response and smoother power delivery

• Fewer boost leaks and lost power under high pressure

• Better reliability and peace of mind in performance builds

Because FTP parts replace the weakest parts of the OEM system, they often form a foundation upgrade for future tuning stages — helping keep your turbo system strong as you add power.
