Chargepipe Installation Help

carbon428i · 02-28-2018, 09:56 PM

Would anybody near the NY area be willing to assist me with installing a chargepipe on an N26? I have all the tools and a good idea of how to do it, I just rather an extra hand and someone who's done it before or knows his stuff.

Appreciate any type of help!

Bump. I'll throw in some cash for helping as an incentive. Need to get it done ASAP.

I thought I was able to do it myself from the engine bay, but no luck. It seems impossible.. got stuck with the vacuum line, it's literally right under the chargepipe and i wasn't able to disconnect it, on top the that the intercooler side is 100% not accessible from the engine bay. Guess I need to lift the car up and remove the intercooler in order to install it

My offer still stands. Anyone who has a lift or jack stands and knows how to do this I will pay you to help me install this!!!

Youll need to go under to remove the clips on the pipe.
I used rhino ramps and some 2x8 to get on the ramps.

Yeah... I'll prob mess up and my car will fall, never used ramps or jack stands before.
I got quoted $125 to install but i think with a lift it's fairly easy so it's a little overpriced. Hopefully someone pulls through and is willing to help me out

Jack stands arent hard to use, just make sure you put your emergency brake on before you jack up the car. 125 sounds about right for an hours work in nyc, even if it doesn't take the full hour they still charge it.. if you go outside the city you might be able to get it down to 80s... try calling oneightynyc they're more headlights, wheels and wraps but might hook you up

The only change is that the chargepipe will hold more boost and not come off like the stock plastic chargepipe.
