Which charge pipe?

I just installed BMS Stage 1 on my 2013 f30 335i. Now which charge pipe do I need for peace of mind?

TIA!

Turbo to intercooler is not necessary right away, I'd go with the one that connects to the throttle body, it's the most popular choice as it's prone to breaking.

Thank you for the links
Get the regular charge pipe (second link) it is prone to failure. You wont need the turbo to intercooler charge pipe unless you are heavily tracking your car.

Great choice on the tune!! How do you like it so far?

For charge pipe, just go with the regular charge pipe (I prefer the black anodized finish)

ER makes a great charge pipe. You will be very happy with the purchase.

The other pipe you linked to, the turbo to intercooler charge pipe I would recommend if doing an upgraded FMIC, but for now I would leave it off the list.

So far, so good! I don't plan on doing a down pipe as I am in CA and don't want to deal with emissions every 2 years (been there, done that with my past vehicles). The Stage 1 tune is simple and effective...but it costing me in gas $ already...LOL.

Thanks for the tips, guys! Will be ordering the charge pipe this weekend from one of you guys. I like to support all forum sponsors (that show to be helpful, like you guys). I figure if you're willing to pay to advertise AND be helpful, then that's good enough for me to give you my business (unless you're *substantially* more expensive than the competitors, lol).

Thanks, again!
