VRSF Charge Pipe - BMW F10/F15/E70 (N55)
The VRSF chargepipe replaces the factory plastic chargepipe on N55-powered BMWs with a CNC-machined, powder-coated black aluminum unit. Increasing throttle response and cutting turbo lag, it is built for owners running a tune who want a durable, leak-free connection between the turbo and intake system.
The billet aluminum OEM throttle body flange is CNC machined to match factory tolerances, and the pipe retains the factory OEM c-clip at the turbo connection instead of replacing it with a clamp-and-coupler setup, which VRSF designed for a tighter, more consistent seal than aftermarket clamp-style pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this chargepipe require a tune?
No. It is a bolt-on upgrade that improves throttle response and durability over the factory pipe, though most owners running this chargepipe are also running a performance tune.
Do I need my factory c-clip to install this?
Yes. The VRSF chargepipe is designed to reuse your factory OEM c-clip at the turbo connection rather than replacing it with clamps.
Is water/methanol injection required?
No. The 1/8-inch NPT bung ships plugged and is only used if you add water/methanol injection later.
Will this fit if my car has an aftermarket intake or turbo inlet?
The chargepipe connects at the turbo and throttle body outlets using factory-style flanges, so it is compatible with most aftermarket intakes and turbo inlets on the same platform.
