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

OVERVIEW

The Evolution Racewerks Charge Pipe Kit with HKS BOV flange 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 replaces the diverter valves with an HKS-pattern blow-off valve flange that holds up to high boost, and its smooth bends keep charge air velocity up for better throttle response, less turbo lag and more power potential. 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.

SPECS

• HKS BOV flange: fits the HKS Super Sequential Valve 4 (SSQV4) or HKS Race BOV (SQV), or any HKS-compatible flange
• Integrated hard elbow replaces the factory "accordion" rubber elbow
• Lightweight high-grade 6061 aluminum piping
• Throttle-body-matched 3" piping
• CNC machined factory-style O-ring throttle body lock flange; pressure tested to 25 PSI
• CNC machined MAP sensor flange using the factory O-ring seal
• Beaded ends and T-bolt clamps keep the piping from blowing off under boost
• Finish options: Brush, Mirror Polish, or Type III Hard Anodized Black (harder, more dent-resistant, OEM look)
• Made in the USA, manufactured in-house
• Limited Lifetime Warranty

PARTS INCLUDED

• Charge pipe with HKS BOV flange in the selected finish; the selected HKS valve (SSQV4 Silver, SSQV4 Black or Race BOV) included on valve-included versions (flange-only versions ship without a valve)
• T-bolt clamps
• All hardware required for complete installation

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• Blow-off valve (required): a blow-off valve is needed. Choose a version with a valve included (HKS SSQV4 BOV in Silver or Black, or the HKS Race BOV), or select "HKS SSQV4 BOV Flange Only (No BOV)" to use your own valve, such as the HKS Super Sequential Blow-Off Valve 4 (SSQV4).

Installation

• Evolution Racewerks does not publish an installation guide or video for this charge pipe.
• Replaces the factory diverter valve charge pipe and elbow; reuses the factory throttle body O-ring and C-clip and the factory MAP sensor.
• Contact Speed Logic for installation support or a recommended installer.

Notes

• Off-Road Use Only. Not CARB legal.
• Long Version is for cars built June 2009 or later. Cars built before June 2009 can also run it to replace the factory "accordion" rubber elbow, or use the 2006–08 Short Version.
• Also available: the Charge Pipe Kit (Factory Diverter Valve) – BMW 135i / 335i / 1M N54 2009-2010 Long.
