What charge pipes do
OEM charge pipes on B58, S58, S55 and EA888 are plastic — the known platform-level failure point once boost demand rises. Replacing the OEM piece with an alloy or reinforced silicone charge pipe removes the failure mode entirely, often for under the cost of a service. Pair with a turbo inlet for a complete pressurised flow path.
Why it matters
- 01Removes the plastic OEM failure point
- 02Alloy or reinforced silicone, T-bolt clamps
- 03Larger ID on most upgrades — small but measurable flow gain
- 04Boost-leak resistance under sustained track use
Platform relevance
Where it counts most.
Critical on B58, S58, S55, EA888 — all four ship with a plastic OEM charge pipe.
