The factory BMW charge pipes are prone to cracking, as they are made from brittle plastic. Here at Turner, we sell several brands of replacement charge pipes that are typically made from cast aluminum. We recommend upgrading to hard charge pipes even on stock forced induction vehicles to avoid cracking - we've seen cracking occur on high mileage cars running stock power just as frequently as we do with high horsepower builds.
The BMS Gen 1 B48 charge pipe upgrade is constructed from high-gauge aluminum and features a CNC throttle body and turbo flange for a snug, OEM-style fit. It is completed with a black textured finish to coordinate with the engine bay and boasts two 1/8" NPT bungs ideal for an external boost gauge or methanol nozzles. Also includes a heavy-duty replacement coupler, o-rings, clamps, and all required installation hardware.

Engineered as a direct replacement for OEM BMW Part #13718601683, the BMS Elite charge pipe addresses the structural weaknesses of the factory charge air duct. Utilizing high-gauge aluminum and precision CNC-machined throttle body and turbo flanges, this upgrade eliminates the risk of boost leaks and pipe failure common at higher boost levels.
