Intercooler / charge pipe options

Hi All,

Has anyone done the 230i charge pipe upgrade and seen improvements? Any other intercooler upgrade options that anyone has done also?

Thanks!

Evolution Racewerks chargepipe is on my 17 230i. Added as a preventative measure. Not sure what you mean by “improvements” I wouldn’t expect any performance increase because of it- but it is solid and fits perfectly.

I have a FTP charge pipe on mine. SUPER easy to install (especially for someone that has no idea about car mechanics) and was only ~$215
