Intercooler and charge pipe install

wolfe · 01-27-2021, 07:06 PM

Hey all,

I've got an aftermarket (ebay) intercooler and a VRSF charge pipe to install on my e70 n55. The videos I've watched mention that the larger intercooler is a bear to get in there.

Any tips please on whether it'll be easier to do the charge pipe or intercooler first?

thanks!

No experience with intercooler install but that goes in from the bottom and the charge pipe is installed from the top. Shouldn’t matter which one you do first.

Have a link to the intercooler?

Thank you. I'm hoping to try and do the install this weekend.

The intercooler I purchased was a rev9 unit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/REV9-RACE-F...-/274554201848

This ebay seller drop ships but they were awesome to deal with. Quality of the part seems decent, I'm going to rinse/flush it out before use to make sure there's no manufacturing debris in there.
