Description
The Evolution Racewerks Turbo to Intercooler (TIC) Charge Pipe Kit is engineered for the BMW E-Chassis N55 single-turbo engine. Designed to replace the weak factory plastic charge pipe, this upgrade delivers better throttle response, reduced turbo lag, and improved durability under high-boost applications.
Constructed from lightweight 6061 aluminum, this mandrel-bent pipe maintains a consistent inner diameter to prevent ballooning or collapse under pressure. The result is smoother airflow and optimized performance. Precision CNC-machined factory-style o-ring lock flanges ensure a perfect, leak-free connection to both the turbocharger and intercooler—something silicone-hose-style aftermarket pipes cannot match.

Optional Type III Hard Black Anodizing provides a stealth OEM look and increases surface hardness for maximum durability. This complete kit includes all required hardware and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
