Recently bought an E82 135i N55 which had started to be tuned by a previous owner. As a bit of preventative maintenance and to get the most out of the larger turbo on this machine, I purchased this charge pipe. It is well priced, well made and reasonably easy to install.
As it is, discovered that the stock charge pipe was missing its O-ring and I had been getting a leak at higher boost. Once installed the new charge pipe and took it for a run, I noticed a decent leap in pulling power! Been worthwhile and now feel much happier that I have a solid charge pipe instead of the flimsy stock plastic one.
Overall very happy with it with great service from the team and quick delivery. Highly recommend
The workmanship is excellent. The second piece of silicon hose needs a groove to allow for positioning of the already grooved factory air pipe from air box.
Took some trials to get this connected so that the air system is properly aligned. Very impressed with the product overs, the service and delivery speed therefore repeat business will occur.
Always happy with the service and products at Flashtuned. Ongoing support from Ryan is awesome too - purchased this set and Ryan reached out quickly to get it all sorted. Legend!
The unit works well, the unit I got had problems reading the factory ECU, this was fine after it was swapped for a new handset. I wish it could read the car and determine the car and engine type on its own, the same as Bluefin, instead of the user needing to know the specific engine number of their car.
Also, the handset had some glitches, like the "next" arrow button sometimes being totally unresponsive and the user being able to turn the brightness down to literally zero, so that the screen becomes unreadable, and required a very bright torch to be held to the screen to see the LCD to fix the brightness. Hopefully these can be fixed in future versions.
Really easy to install product with clear instructions and helpful staff with ordering.
Great to deal with. Able to call and speak to a real person
