What is the charge pipe that go well with the CSF intercool (N26 f33)

Hi everyone, I have 16' n26 f33.

I went to the shop and installed an er200 downpipe and csf intercooler a few days ago.

When I went there, I heard from field mechanic that he tried to install an ftp charge pipe and an intake pipe, but it was impossible to install due to interference with the csf intercooler.

However, the person in the link video below completed the work.



Is this a difference of 28i 35i?

My acquaintance also has the same csf intercooler and says he bought an er charge pipe and crashed into another area as the pipe trembled at low rpm. He said he eventually sold the pipe to someone else because of the noise.

I'd like to get a recommendation for a pipe that doesn't interfere with the csf intercooler.

I installed the FTP charge pipe on my F32 N26 with the CSF 8115B intercooler and had no problems. The bigger issue is finding a boost pipe that will go from the turbo to the intercooler. I'm still running the stock boost pipe as I was unable to find one that would work with it.

Turner will work. Otherwise if you use the FTP boost pipe you have to shorten it by 1/2” on the pipe that connects to the intercooler side (cut and weld) or the er you have to cut and weld as well, don’t know how much of a difference you need however

all charge pipes will work with CSF intercooler, its the boost pipe that's the problem.

have this problem as well with csf intercooler , they simply can't match with ftp somehow . i already bought 2 set of ftp and both of them simply couldn't fit so i ended up installing the chrage pipe with the oem cp ,and you guess it , those oem cp simply will not held 26psi of boost for a very long time XD so i ended up switching to vrsf intercooler and it fit perfectly with ftp BP,CP
keep in mind tho csf intercooler is much more supperior when it comes to performance compared to vrsf it's very unfortunate that they have this fitting issue when matched with ftp pipe , maybe if you use different bp,cp brand it could works
