This aluminium turbo inlet pipe replaces the restrictive factory plastic induction tube on selected BMW platforms. Engineered to improve cold air intake efficiency, it directs cooler, denser air directly into the turbocharger for more consistent boost response. The unit serves as a direct-fit upgrade for owners seeking to optimise existing cooling and induction setups.
Key Features
-
Construction: Durable aluminium material constructed to resist heat cycling and corrosion typically found in engine compartments.
-
Airflow Path: Designed to replace the restrictive factory plastic intake tube, improving airflow straightness to the turbocharger.
-
Reduced Mass: Weighs only 0.6 kg, keeping under-hood weight low while maintaining rigid structural support.
Fitment
Verified compatible with BMW models equipped with the B48 and B58 turbocharged engines across the F and G chassis platforms. Specifically fitted to BMW 3 Series (G20/G28) 318i, 320i, 330i, 325Li, 5 Series (G30/G38) 2.0T variants, and select B58/M340 configurations from 2019 onwards. Due to chassis-specific bumper and cooling assembly variations, customers are advised to confirm exact compatibility against their vehicle details before ordering.

Installation
The unit mounts via standard factory fasteners and requires disconnecting the primary intercooler piping and mass airflow sensor housing. Because of tight clearance around the radiator support and service components, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure correct torque values and secure hose clamping.
