PTF Race Intercooler And Charge Pipe Kit - Now Available!

We're really excited to finally be able to offer our PTF Race Intercooler and Charge Pipe Kit to our BMW F-series customers along with FREE shipping in the USA and Canada.

PTF Race Intercooler

The first and key hardware upgrade for all tuned BMW F series vehicles with N13, N20/N26 and N55 engines is the front mounted air to air intercooler.

Raising boost past stock on the OEM intercooler results in the DME (engine computer) to reduce power by reducing ignition timing due to increases in IAT (intake air temperature) and associated knock levels.

This PTF Race Intercooler features over twice the internal volume compared to the stock intercooler while also outflowing the stock unit by almost 20%. Intercooler features 9 charge rows in the lower section and 6 in the top stepped portion along with end tanks that have been CFD flow analyzed and made to include a vane to efficiently direct airflow into its high quality core.

PTF Race Intercooler fitment is confirmed on the following BMW F-series vehicles:

BMW 1-Series F20 F21
Model years: 2010-2018
Model: 114i, 116i, 118i, 125i, M135i (including x-drive models)

BMW 2-Series F22 F23
Model years: 2012-2018
Model: 218i, 220i, 228i, 230i, M235i (including x-drive models)

BMW 2-Series F87
Model years: 2015-2018
Model: M2

BMW 3-Series F30 F31 F34
Model years: 2011-2018
Model: 316i, 320i, 328i, 335i (including x-drive models)

BMW 4-Series F32 F36
Model years: 2012-2018
Model: 418i, 420i, 428i, 430i, 435i (including x-drive models)

PTF Charge Pipe Kit

One of the first and key hardware upgrades for all tuned BMW F series N55 vehicles is the charge pipe. OEM plastic can have issues handling higher boost levels and deteriorates over time breaking at the intake manifold connection.
This charge pipe kit consists of two main parts: 3" mandrel bent aluminum part that features 2 bungs (1/8th-27 NPT) for those looking to run methanol/water injection (blanking plugs included), along with a silicone piece with 4 layers of polyester/aramid reinforcement made to handle high temperatures and pressures.

Parts included in the kit:
  • Aluminum pressure pipe
  • Silicone hose
  • CNC machined hose adapter for the host to intercooler hot-side outlet
  • Installation hardware for the pressure pipe
  • Two standard hose clamps

NOTE: OEM charge pipe o-ring should be re-used or replaced during installation on an as needed basis, NOT included.

Fitment for the following BMW F series vehicle models:

BMW 1-Series F20 F21
Years: 2010-2018
Vehicle models: M135i (including x-drive)

BMW 2-Series F22 F23

Year models: 2012-2018
Engine: M235i (including x-drive), M235i Racing

BMW 2-Series F87
Year models: 2015-2018
Engine: M2

BMW 3-Series F30 F31 F34
Year models: 2011-2018
Engine: 335i (including x-drive)

BMW 4-Series F32 F33 F36
Year models: 2012-2018
Engine: 435i (including x-drive)

Ingenious design for the vacumn port plug, same clip mechanism as the stock connector so that is really smart.

Only issue I have is with the meth bung placement on the charge pipe, they are way too close together which can cause destructive interference and thus poor atomization and result in pooling. The next issue is that they are too close to the bend in the charge pipe, again affecting atomization and distribution into the air stream. You want them to be in the straight portion of the pipe so the meth can be exposed to laminar air flow and have more time to fully atomize into the air before being forced to take corners which can force meth droplets out of suspension if it didn't have enough time to full distribute.
