Charge pipe suggestions in EU?

Hello,

So recently my charge pipe blew on my 2012 335i F30 with manual transmission.

I am looking for new one, ideally aluminium one but the catch is - I need it shipped from Europe so there's no additional tax etc. Maybe I am just (like 99,9%) retarded and can't use Google but every single e-shop I run into is either out of stock or doesn't really sell N55 charge pipes or does sell some cheap-ass plastic ones.

So does anybody have an idea where to get one?

Thanks

You can always get one from the Evolution Racewerks in the US. Taxes and shipping charges added of course.

Yeah well I found some tube on eBay from Poland for like $200 meaning no import charges and additional fees. Just no fancy writings on the tube but it will get the job done I Hope.

I have also been looking for dealers in Europe to avoid import charges and I found this:

I have however not bought anything from them yet.

Hello Jeff. I just installed the Polish charge pipe and it just fits great. I just wanted to ask - do you have an idea how to plug the vacuum line? We tried a plug in a piece of plastic tightened with a strapping tape and it just flew out (I HOPE IT FLEW OUT and not in)

It's for A/T I think. Maybe with a hose and a collar?
