The BMW B58 Gen 2 engine offers excellent tuning potential, but higher boost levels also place additional stress on the factory intake components. One of the most common upgrades for modified vehicles is replacing the OEM plastic BMW B58 charge pipe, which can become vulnerable to cracks or boost leaks when exposed to increased pressure and heat.
The FTP Charge Pipe engineered as a durable aluminum replacement that delivers improved reliability, better airflow, and the strength required for both stock and tuned applications.
Engineered for Higher Performance
The charge pipe connects the intercooler to the throttle body, carrying compressed air directly into the engine. Any restriction or leak in this section can reduce boost pressure, decrease throttle response, and impact overall engine performance.
Unlike the factory plastic component, the B58 charge pipe from FTP Motorsport is manufactured from mandrel bent aluminum tubing that provides superior durability while promoting smooth and efficient airflow. The rigid construction is designed to withstand repeated heat cycles and elevated boost pressure, making it a dependable solution for high performance driving.
Although upgrading the Charge Pipe B58 is not intended to produce major horsepower gains on its own, it removes a known weak point in the factory boost system and helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions.
A Perfect Upgrade for Modified Builds
As power levels increase, supporting hardware becomes just as important as tuning itself. The FTP Charge Pipe B58 is an excellent addition to vehicles equipped with:
Installing a stronger BMW charge pipe early in the modification process provides a reliable foundation for future upgrades while reducing the risk of boost related failures.
Premium Materials with OEM Fitment
Designed specifically for the BMW M340i and Toyota Supra A90, this B58 charge pipe installs using the factory mounting locations for a true direct bolt on fit.
Each kit includes high quality silicone couplers and stainless steel clamps to ensure secure, leak free connections even under increased boost pressure. The aluminum construction not only improves durability but also gives the engine bay a cleaner, more performance oriented appearance.
