Turbo compressor pipe

[Kiwi Peter]

Here are some shots of the compressor outlet pipe for the RHD 135,335.
As we are doing some turbo mods to Mr Clintons car i though we would do the same mod that we did to justins car.
This pipe runs from the turbo outlet to the intercooler. as you can see the stock pipe is very restrictive.

I never understood why BMW had that pipe made like that. Good job Peter.

[woosh]

That's awesome work guys. What type of benefits are you expecting?

I cannot understand why BMW engineers would allow the pipe to be crimped like that in the first place. Nice job Peter

I dont know of any benefits i cant prove that it makes power or not. i think it is just wrong to not do the mod if the turbos are off maybe it is fine for a stock STD car . But for a car with any mods just do it.

[Eddie135]

So I presuumed only the designed restrictions in N54 but not in the N55 then.

maybe it's the same part for LHD cars and it is made that way to clear some other parts? Doesn't make sense if it's just there for nothing...

+ 1 I don't see why not either. How much would that cost Peter?

[RaihaX]

Is it a big hassle getting the pipe out if you are not taking the turbos off?

[pavo335]

i'd say anything near the turbos is a pita!

Hey Pav you should stop hitting things at the track. ripple strips are not for driving on

[JB4-335]

Book me in Peter.
I don't care if there's no power gain I just hate the look of that piping.
