Description
Introducing the Evolution Racewerks Turbo to Intercooler (TIC) Charge Pipe, specifically designed for the 2012+ BMW 320i/328i N20, 2013+ BMW 428i, and 2012+ BMW 125i/228i single turbo engines. This charge pipe replaces the factory rubber hose with high-grade 6061 aluminum piping, offering superior durability and performance. Engineered to increase throttle response and reduce turbo lag, this upgrade ensures a smooth, turbulence-free airflow with mandrel-bent aluminum construction and precision CNC-machined flanges for a leak-free connection. The TIC charge pipe offers plug-and-play installation, fitting both factory and aftermarket intercoolers while retaining the OEM electronic diverter valve compatibility.
Key Features:
- Improves throttle response and reduces turbo lag.
- Constructed from lightweight high-grade 6061 aluminum piping.
- Replaces the factory rubber charge pipe prone to failure under high boost.
- 2.5” piping matches intercooler dimensions for optimal airflow.
- Retains factory-style O-ring locking connectors for a leak-free fit and easy installation.
- Beaded ends and T-bolt clamps prevent piping from dislodging under boost.
- Includes silicone hump hose for improved flexibility and fitment.
- Optional Type III hard black anodizing for a stealthy, OEM look and enhanced durability.
- Fully compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve.
- Includes all hardware for a complete installation.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The factory rubber charge pipe is prone to collapsing under boost, which can restrict airflow, reducing throttle response and increasing turbo lag. Evolution Racewerks' 6061 aluminum mandrel-bent piping ensures consistent inner diameter, eliminating ballooning or collapsing. The result is improved throttle response and decreased turbo lag, providing better overall performance. Pair this TIC charge pipe with Evolution Racewerks N20 Charge Pipes for a complete metal intercooler system upgrade.
Note:
This product uses factory-style O-ring locking connectors for an easy plug-and-play swap with the stock or upgraded intercooler.
