Upgrading the S58 charge pipes - step by step DIY

Ok y'all... its serious now with Kies Motorsports and Mishimoto Automotive for big power upgrades into the G87 M2. The weakest point in most modern BMW engines are the charge pipes, espeically if you plan on going beyond stock horsepower. Mishimoto makes a fantastic upgrade to the weaker plastic charge Y pipe in the S58 motor, and I knew I wanted it.

This isn't as easy as some of my DIYs but I will walk you through every single step that will allow you to do this yourself.

Check it out!

OP- if I don’t tune my car but want better flow with aftermarket charge pipes- is it worth it?

I would, but that's just me.. might as well upgrade your heat exchanger too while there since it's 90% the same job.

Money not an object, go for Wagner heat exchanger. Best for the price, Carbahn.

If upgrading charge pipes, you need to do hot side and cold side (and stay away from plastic). Personally, on a stock motor/tune, not necessary.
