Expert's advice:
The OEM charge pipes of the BMW S55 engine are fragile, especially when the car is tuned. The FTP S55 Charge Pipe + Boost Pipe Kit is made from aluminum and will replace the OEM charge pipes. This is an upgrade to improve the reliability of the engine and maximizes the flow to the engine.
FTP kits are very comprehensive, including gaskets, o-rings, seals, and c-clips.
