Alpha Competition BMW F2X m140i m240i F3X 340i 440i B58 Turbo Inlet Pipe
179.99€
Alpha Competition offers a performance upgrade designed to optimize airflow within the B58 engine’s turbocharger system. Their meticulously engineered B58 turbo inlet pipe addresses a potential limitation of the stock component, aiming to improve power delivery and efficiency, particularly under demanding driving conditions.
The factory-equipped turbo inlet pipe plays a critical role in channeling air from the intercooler to the turbocharger. While functional for everyday driving, it might become a bottleneck under high boost pressure or during spirited driving scenarios. This limitation can lead to a phenomenon known as “turbo inlet pressure drop,” where air intake is restricted, potentially hindering engine performance.
The Alpha Competition B58 turbo inlet pipe incorporates key features to address these limitations and promote optimal engine operation:
Often boasting a larger volume compared to the stock unit, the Alpha Competition pipe allows for a greater volume of air to flow towards the turbocharger. This enhanced airflow can potentially minimize turbo inlet pressure drop, contributing to improved engine performance.
The Alpha Competition pipe frequently features a smoother internal design compared to the stock unit. This reduces turbulence within the pipe, further optimizing airflow for optimal performance.
Typically constructed from high-grade materials like aluminium or reinforced silicone, the Alpha Competition pipe ensures strength, durability, and resistance to heat for long-lasting performance.
By minimizing turbo inlet pressure drop and promoting efficient airflow, the Alpha Competition pipe may contribute to measurable increases in horsepower and torque output as measured on a dynamometer.
Enhanced airflow can lead to a more responsive throttle, translating to a more engaging driving experience for performance-oriented drivers.
Improved airflow efficiency can potentially help mitigate heat soak within the turbo system, promoting consistent performance during extended periods of demanding driving.
The Alpha Competition B58 turbo inlet pipe is typically designed for a direct bolt-on installation, minimizing downtime during the upgrade process. To ensure compatibility with your specific B58 engine variant and any existing performance modifications you might have, consulting a qualified mechanic familiar with B58 engines is highly recommended.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
