Hey guys, I literally just broke my turbo inlet, or intake inlet a few hours ago, I know these break really easily so I've been looking into aftermarket inlets for the N20 X1. Has anyone tried or used the MST Turbo Inlet designed for N20 engines? I've been looking at the pictures it literally looks the exact same with the sensors in the right places. If it does fit I can pick it up locally as I am on a tight time frame to get my car to a body shop. Otherwise I'd have to one day ship the FTP inlet somehow with all this corona stuff happening, which is unlikely it will get here in one day in Canada. If anyone knows anything that'd be much appreciated! Ill show some pics of my stock inlet that I broke, and then the MST one.

I can't say it won't work, but none of the sites with this listed (including the MST site) identify it as being compatible with the X1.

However, if I look at at ESC Tuning website they show that the stock one is the same one as used in an F30 328i. So there is a pretty good chance that it will fit.
If you give it a try, let us know if it worked or not! FYI, don't know how soon they will get back, but I emailed MST asking them if this will fit an E84 X1 28i.

I haven't done mine yet, but am getting close to pulling the trigger. However I'm leaning towards the FTP (I know that you in part went with the MST due to local availability) as it has more aluminium/less rubber. Is it a fairly simple job to do yourself? I was a mechanic many, many, very many moons ago and don't do much myself anymore, but may take this on if it is easy enough.
