BMW F87, M2 (N55) Turbo Inlet Pipe

Open up the intake side of your BMW F87 M2 with this Performance Turbo Inlet Pipe — an aluminium replacement for the restrictive factory inlet between the airbox and the turbocharger.

The standard N55 turbo inlet is a moulded plastic part with a stepped internal profile and a pronounced restriction where it meets the compressor housing. It is sized for the standard turbo and for noise, and it becomes a genuine limit the moment boost goes up. Opening it lets the compressor draw freely, which shows up as faster spool and a turbo that is working less hard for the same boost.

Mandrel-bent aluminium with a wrinkle black finish, supplied with a reinforced silicone coupler and two stainless T-bolt clamps.

Key Features:

Smooth Large-Bore Aluminium
A clean, consistent path into the compressor in place of the factory stepped plastic elbow.

Removes the Inlet Restriction
The standard inlet necks down before the turbo. This does not, so the compressor is not fighting for air.

Wrinkle Black Finish
A textured powder coat that handles engine bay heat and holds its look.

Reinforced Silicone Coupler
Multi-ply silicone with two stainless T-bolt clamps included.

Direct Bolt-On Fitment
Uses the factory airbox and turbo connections. No cutting and no fabrication.

Pairs With an Intake
Works alongside the factory airbox or an aftermarket intake, and is the natural next step after one.

Performance Benefits:

Faster turbo spool and sharper throttle response

Less restriction ahead of the compressor, so less work for the same boost

A more present induction note under load

Supports a Stage 2 tune properly rather than choking it

Aluminium construction in place of heat-cycled plastic

Vehicle Fitment:

N55 Only - Not the M2 Competition:

This inlet is for the N55 M2. The M2 Competition runs the twin-turbo S55 and needs a pair of inlets, not one — see our F80/F82/F87 (S55) turbo inlet kit.

Please Note:

Professional installation is recommended. An ECU tune is recommended to realise the full benefit.
