Ideally BMW extends the N20 warranty and I don't have to worry about it. But I don't really want or need something bigger than the X1, which is why I like the idea of something like the BRZ/86.

Received the FTP package, Boost Pipe, Charge Pipe and waiting on intake pipe from ECS was on sale for the E84 N20.
Installed the Charge Pipe it was tough that clip/clamp took a while to figure out the one connecting to the intercooler. Ended up having to install the bottom portion first and feel the clamp back into the slot. Took a few tries on a hot day was sweating bullets but was so happy to get it installed correctly. Drove to test, floored it feels the same. Happy with the stronger components. Will try the Boost Pipe tomorrow looks like there is less space to maneuver. |

Mission accomplished! After several hours was able to get installed. In hindsight definitely easier to clip on the bottom after removing the shield.
Had to install in portions there really wasn't much space to maneuver the pipe. I hope the intake pipe ends up being much easier from photos it looks like the entire pipe screws on from one end. Will try installing from top side when it arrives. So boost pipe and charge pipe done. |

Came here looking for x1 inlet/boost/charge pipe articles because getting error codes 2c57 and 2906. Is that why you are changing the pipes? I saw on e90 post someone with these post changed his charge pipe because it was cracked. Solenoid too but said didn't do anything. |
