OVERVIEW
The air-to-water intercooling system that keeps intake air temperatures low on the F8X M cars is only as strong as its weakest link, and the factory charge pipes are exactly that. Once boost pressure rises it is not uncommon for the stock pipes to split at the plastic welds near the turbo or to burst along the seam, leaving a frustrating boost leak.
The Mishimoto F8X M3 / M4 Charge Pipe Kit replaces them with full aluminum, expertly TIG-welded pipes that give the S55's boost a secure path. A unique cast midsection delivers exact fitment between the engine and the air intake, and the pipes are shaped for optimal airflow with a more uniform cross-section from turbo to intercooler without sacrificing fit. A bung is included for simple integration of methanol injection.
The kit also includes a pair of matte black silicone couplers for a secure, stock-style connection to the air-to-water intercooler, and is covered by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
