Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe Kit (Factory Diverter Valve) – BMW 135i / 335i / 1M N54 2009-2010 Long

OVERVIEW

The Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe Kit for factory diverter valves replaces the factory diverter valve charge pipe on 2009–2010 (Long Version) BMW 135i and 335i and the 2011–2012 1 Series M with the N54 twin-turbo engine. From June 2009 BMW integrated the "accordion" rubber elbow between the lower intercooler pipe and the charge pipe into the charge pipe itself; this Long Version replaces that integrated elbow with hard piping, the so-called "meth elbow."

The kit keeps the factory or any factory-style aftermarket diverter valves and deletes the factory diverter valve sound baffle, which splits airflow and creates turbulence. Smooth, throttle-body-matched 3" piping keeps charge air velocity up for better throttle response and less turbo lag. Instead of the silicone-hose connection most competitors use, it keeps a factory-style O-ring and C-clip lock flange at the throttle body and a CNC machined MAP sensor flange with the factory O-ring seal, so the connections stay leak-free under boost.
