Why you should change out the hot side pipe to aluminum

Bmw doubles · 10-21-2019, 05:52 PM

So I am changing the seals on both the hot and cold side of my pipes of the intercooler and I discovered on that the hot side that inner-plastic melted within the pipe. I believe this was done when I was running my stock turbo at 19 psi. It was too hot and clearly melted the inside of my pipe. I highly recommend moving to an aluminum FTP hot side pipe whether you're running stock or PS2. I'm putting mine back on for now but will be changing it out very shortly

I think what you mean is, you got a free gasket for the hot side

All jokes aside, damn that's some nasty looking crap.
