Charge pipe finally blew. DIY EVO and AA.

Forge is well regarded here in the UK with NVM and litchfield using their chargepipes in their tuning packages.

There's no all silicone one that I've seen.

Question, is there any companies that makes an almost all silicone charge pipe for the N55, where it's still ridged but not made out of aluminum?

Forge is probably closest to that. The throttle bottle/MAF section is still aluminum likely for sensor mounting.

Turner seems to make a half-and-half CP, similar to the Forge one above:

FYI. The clips that hold the breather pipe onto the intake and CP were very brittle. Perhaps due to age or heat cycles.

Even though every thing looked fine when reinstalling. The clips broke, and the breather pipe of course came loose.

I could not find any way to fix it so I had to buy a new breather pipe. $90, yikes.

I have no advise on this other than try to be very gentle when removing the clips. I suspect that the standard pliers method had a lot to do with the eminent break.
