The VA Motorsports BMW B46 B48 TURBO INLET PIPE is a high-performance upgrade designed to optimize the airflow and efficiency of BMW’s 2.0T engines. This turbo inlet pipe is engineered to fit a wide range of models, including the BMW F20 and F21 (120i, 125i), F22 and F23 (220i, 230i), F30 and F31 (320i, 330i), and F32, F33, and F36 (420i, 430i). By replacing the restrictive factory component, this inlet pipe improves turbocharger performance, enhances throttle response, and delivers consistent power gains. Whether for daily driving or high-performance applications, this upgrade ensures your engine operates at its best.

The factory inlet pipe often creates a bottleneck in airflow, limiting the potential of the turbocharged engine. The BMW B46 B48 TURBO INLET PIPE eliminates this restriction with a durable, high-flow design crafted from lightweight aluminium or composite materials. The smooth internal surface of the pipe minimizes turbulence, creating a direct path for air to the turbocharger. This results in faster turbo spool, reduced lag, and improved combustion efficiency, providing sharper acceleration and a more dynamic driving experience. The precision engineering of this component ensures that it withstands the higher boost pressures and temperatures associated with tuned or modified vehicles, making it ideal for those seeking to push the limits of their BMW’s performance.

This turbo inlet pipe is designed with durability in mind, offering exceptional resistance to heat and deformation under high-pressure conditions. It provides a reliable solution for vehicles with performance tuning or additional modifications, ensuring consistent airflow and turbocharger efficiency. The kit includes premium silicone couplers and stainless-steel clamps, ensuring a secure, leak-free installation. Its direct bolt-on design allows for seamless integration with the factory turbocharger and other engine components, requiring no additional modifications. The installation process is straightforward, making it accessible for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.

In addition to its performance enhancements, the BMW B46 B48 TURBO INLET PIPE adds a refined aesthetic to the engine bay. The sleek, high-quality finish, available in polished or powder-coated options, resists corrosion and complements the sporty design language of BMW vehicles. This combination of style and function makes it an attractive upgrade for enthusiasts who value both performance and appearance.

The inlet pipe is specifically tailored to fit a variety of BMW models equipped with the B46 and B48 engines, ensuring compatibility across platforms such as the F20 and F21 (120i, 125i), F22 and F23 (220i, 230i), F30 and F31 (320i, 330i), and F32, F33, and F36 (420i, 430i). This versatility makes it an essential upgrade for drivers looking to enhance the responsiveness and efficiency of their turbocharged engines. Whether you drive a stock vehicle or have invested in performance tuning, this turbo inlet pipe ensures your engine can perform reliably under increased demands.

Upgrade your BMW with the VA Motorsports TURBO INLET PIPE and experience improved turbo response, enhanced airflow, and greater overall performance. This precision-engineered component combines durability, functionality, and style to deliver a transformative driving experience. Trust VA Motorsports for high-quality, innovative solutions that redefine the performance capabilities of your BMW.

Material

Aluminium

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.
