OE turbocharger hoses and lines are made to perform year-round in any climate. For that reason, they tend to be constructed of flexible materials that will wear out in time. Here you will find everything you need to service all of the turbochargers connecting pipes and oil lines.
Looking to get the most efficient turbocharger operation out of your N54 powered BMW? The best way to do this is to remove all restrictions from the inlet, and charge tract. The factory charge pipe has a very small 1″ opening and a poorly designed Y section that couples the two banks into one before entering the intercooler. This VTT N54 Aluminum outlet gets rid of those restrictions and provides a full 1.5″ from the turbochargers to a smooth Y transition into a 2.5″ outlet to fit most aftermarket intercoolers. Do not be fooled by companies trying to sell you oversized 2″ charge pipes, these are not going to pick up any power, and will kill velocity. The smallest diameter you can run while still providing adequate flow is always best for flow velocity and reducing time to TQ. This outlet is powder-coated black for a durable finish. The outlet is available in V-band connection for Stock, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 2+, any aftermarket turbo that uses the stock connection (RB, Pure, TTE, ETC. It is also available in Hose barb connection for our GC, GC Lite line up., as well as with 1.5″-2″ silicone adapters to fit MMP turbos.

Replace your plastic OEM charge pipe with the aluminum charge pipe from Vargas Turbo Technologies. Once you start turning up the boost on the S55 the stock charge pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body becomes a ticking time bomb until it explodes leaving your stranded. This Charge pipe is made from mandrel bent aluminum with CNC flange, and 1/8' NPT port for methanol injection.

The factory charge pipes are made of plastic, which is fine for stock boost levels but does not hold up well under higher boost levels. The solution is to replace that plastic piece with a hard aluminum one from Evolution Racewerks. 6061 high-grade aluminum not only stands up to whatever you can throw at it, but it looks great at the same time. Don't risk detonating that 400.00 plastic pipe from BMW. Swap yours out and avoid the headache of needing to call a tow-truck or drive home in limp. Features: Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag. Lightweight High Grade 6061 Aluminum Piping. Replaces the factory soft plastic charge pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost. Retains factory-style o-ring c-clip lock flange. Precision CNC machined MAP sensor and IAT flanges ensure a leak-free connection. Charge Pipe features beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost. Silicone Hump Hose included. Type III Hard Black Anodizing (for stealth and OEM look). Hard anodizing helps improve the durability of intercooler piping. Resists bent or dented piping. Compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve. Includes all hardware for a complete installation. Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Vargas turbochargers feature a complete redesign of key components, including the compressor housing, bearing housing, and turbine housing. These turbos are specifically engineered to fit in the stock N54 location while offering the flow capacity of much larger units. Every detail has been carefully designed to meet our performance, flow, and reliability objectives. The result is a turbo that fits the stock location and supports up to 700WHP. To achieve this, the internal areas of the manifolds, turbine, and compressor housings have been expanded. Additionally, the AR ratio of the turbine housing has been slightly increased to enhance flow without compromising spool time. Simply put, no other turbocharger—whether single or twin—can match the spool, ease of fitment, power, or reliability of our “GC LITE” turbos, which are capable of delivering 700WHP.

These extra-strength silicone pipes replace the plastic pipes coming from the turbos to the top-mount intercooler on the M3/M4. Since the stock pipes are plastic there is the potential for cracks and boost leaks which will surely spoil the fun.
