Whenever the factory charge pipe break at the plastic seam, the engine immediately senses a huge vacuum leak where the engine ECU counters by sending the engine into a LIMP MODE condition. Usually, the car's performance will feel dimished and lack luster as if running without a proper firing cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Active Autowerke N55 Charge Pipe is a designated product designed from inception to cure and eliminate this problem on your BMW. This new version is designed for X-Drive cars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConstructed from all aluminum makes this charge pipe almost indestructible. \u003cbr\u003eThe connection to the throttle body is a CNC machined part to duplicate the factory fit as well making a tight, reliable seal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOwners of BMW with the N55 engine understands that additional power can be reliably maintained with the use of Water\/Methanol injection as an added feature. However, the N55 current does not have a reliable source to accommodate the application of a Water\/Methanol nozzles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Active Autowerke N55 Charge Pipe has a proper provision for this specific application. A boss with two separate ports are provided upstream where the injected mix of water\/methanol can properly atomize before entering the engine. The thread depths for the water\/methanol nozzles are also checked to allow for a proper spray pattern without hitting the inside walls of the threaded holes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BMW N55 engine does not utilize external diverter valves like it's N54 predecessor. Rather, the BMW N55 has diverter valves that are built inside the engine turbo compressor housings and no in the charge pipe. As such, there are no provisions to add larger BOVs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecific design to correct a problem with X-Drive cars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsistent diameter tubing for increased performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreased throttle response and decrease throttle lag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCNC machined throttle housing for a proper seal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRetains factory BMW O-Ring seal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvision of raised boss for 2 Water\/Methanol nozzles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBLACK powder coated for that OEM look\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh quality silicone couplers and stainless clamps are included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003ePart Type:Intercooler Piping\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFitment Spec:Vehicle Specific\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Active AutoWerke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52025751666980,"sku":"15-005","price":331.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/6801\/0532\/files\/ShowProductImage_49820bd5-ef93-4d68-8bed-c0d0759c0245.jpg?v=1771509492","url":"https:\/\/autohousesupply.com\/products\/active-autowerke-bmw-f-chassis-xdrive-chargepipe-15-005","provider":"AutoHouseSupply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
