I have vrsf aluminum charge pipe and csf intercooler and my intake temps are already 20 degrees cooler then stock and at a higher boost level.

I wish some vendor would just make a hinged plastic clamp that fits completley around the OEM charge pipe neck at the throttle body. It would support and strengthen the failure points and would be cheaper and easier to install plus it would be far better at dealing with heat soak and sealing for boost leaks. |
Same here, I was waiting for the day a reputable company like maybe Dinan engineered a replacement pipe, that doesn't heat soak and also retains
factory style O-ring throttle body lock flange, possibly, without the use of a silicone coupler.
However, when I inquired, I was informed they had no plans to design a replacement pipe and seeing that the N55 was discontinued with the 2018 M2, at this juncture, that's wishful thinking.
