No additional fees. I was actually very surprised to know that there weren't any

Photos seen here are for xdrive 6mt version. And total with boost pipe was around 440 shipped to me but I got it when the price was still low.

Looks like a new one but he can't list if its RWD/AWD, AT/6MT

I just asked the question and they replied "we are not sure, we cannot answer your question, please check the product description.".... not very helpful.

Im a diy guy, but I'm prob gonna let my shop do this, and assist with the install. The last thing I want is boost leak from not installing it properly. Any noticeable improvement? I'm currently running Jb4 map5, dp, filter, mpe.

a little more noise and better throttle response. peace of mind is key here. you don't have to worry about blowing anything. I have atak exhaust cts intercooler and charge pipe and TIC. deciding on jb4 or BM3 and trying to find the best catted downpipe.

Are the charge pipes different depending on 4WD/RWD and AT/MT?

This is covered in the first page of the thread:

From the pics, it actually looks like this CP comes with that rubber cover. This is similar to the rubber plug needed on the BMS intake for 6MT cars.

The FTP kit includes the rubber plug for 6MT, so it doesn't matter what you drive. That said, AWD and RWD pipes are not the same/compatible because of the different bends.

Has anyone used the included worm clamps? any issues?

What size T Bolt clamps do i need if I want to change?

Do you re use the factory O ring? (one on the throttle?

I used the included worm clamps with no issues so far after a couple thousand miles of driving hard.

I have no idea what size t-bolt clamps, sorry.

I believe it came with one new o-ring for the top near the throttle plate, and you reuse on old o-ring for the connection to the intercooler. Just make sure to lube both with a little oil so you don't crack one and cause a boost leak!

If you're referring to the metal clip that secures the pipe to the throttle body, yes, you will need it to use it on the replacement pipe.

Update:

So i got the charge pipe installed went out for a drive and no boost at all not one bit... funny because before the charge pipe install it was boosting 3-4, psi now max i can get is 0.1psi which is nothing ... When driving i hear a whistle sound but cant seem to determine what side of the bay it is coming from...

Ive doubled checked all the o rings and fitment of the parts...

I originally just changed the Cold side, thinking about doing the Hot side to rule out that.

Getting a bit worried about my Turbo i hope it hasn't crapped itself and given up ...

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys.

alohasurftoad · 06-19-2018, 08:47 AM

did you use the oem o-ring and is it oriented properly?

THbimmer · 06-21-2018, 07:33 PM

Sorted it out guys.. the vacuum connector on the FTP charge pipe isn't 100%, on my one it seems to pop off quiet often...

Right now running stock charge pipe again until i can find a solution to the loose vacuum connector..

Everything is running fine again doing pulls and holding 22psi no problem.

enemigo13 · 06-22-2018, 12:29 AM

22psi on 320i with 1:11 compression ratio? you're brave
