Description
Unlock the full potential of your MINI’s turbocharged engine with the Neuspeed NM Engineering HI-FLO Turbo Air Charge Pipe, engineered to significantly improve airflow efficiency and turbo response on R-Series MINI models equipped with the 1.6L turbo engine.
The OEM intercooler-to-throttle-body hose, also known as the cold-side charge pipe, is a known bottleneck in the MINI’s intake system. It features a restrictive, necked-down section and an integrated sound chamber, both of which reduce airflow and delay turbo response. NM Engineering’s solution is a direct replacement system that includes a smooth, high-flow aluminum pipe paired with reinforced silicone couplers—eliminating all performance-compromising elements.
By removing the OEM sound chamber and replacing the restrictive factory tubing, this upgrade results in a faster and more efficient pressurization of the intake system. The result is increased throttle response, improved mid-range torque, and greater top-end power. The NM HI-FLO Turbo Air Charge Pipe also offers long-term reliability by resisting expansion under high boost conditions, ensuring consistent performance under aggressive driving and tuning applications.
