Charge pipe advice

Jatmonf87 · 01-29-2018, 01:32 PM

Looking for advice from other members who have upgraded their intake charge pipe. I had the Active Autoworke intake charge pipe installed when I purchased my new 2017 M2, after i had a factory charge pipe gasket failure at the race track with my 2015 M235i. My M2 performed flawlessly recently at Sebring raceway, except for the tube with the MAF that connects from intake pipe to charge pipe started popping off. This lead to multiple MAF related code errors and car limping off of the track. Once i reconnected the tube and reset the codes, everything went back to normal except during the drive home when tube popps off again from full throttle acceleration. Attached are photos to show what is happening. Does anyone run an aftermarket connecting tube, or have an aftermarket connector that works for them ? Was some part(s) not used for a correct install ? only other modification for the car is Fabspeed sport cat, otherwise stock. Thanks in advance for any help !

Sounds like excellent advice, that coating should be removed by the manufactuer before they even ship it.

On our production pieces should not have had that bung powdered. That one may have slipped by. When you get a chance, bring the car by and we'll take care of it for you.
