New ATM Boost Hose for X5d-Goodbye Boost Leaks
 

I've been testing the prototype for 15,000km and it has been bulletproof! Release date should be next week so keep an eye out on ATM's website

So thats you! haha, i saw this vid yesterday (ive subscribed to your channel).



Im on stock I/C and dont even know if this would benefit me. I have no way of gauging if I'm even leaking any boost there or anywhere. But still interested in it haha

HMMMMMM. I'm about to install my new seals (bought an ebay pipe but if it doesn go on smoothly, I'll just take the new seals form it and install them.)

I've bene debating doing the ATM intercooler just for this reason, to remove this stupid hose wiht th ebetter design... but I never really got around to spending the money on the whole intercooler setup. I do tow, so I really SHOULD go for an upgraded intercooler, but I need to more closely monitor my IAT's and see if I really want to commit to the upgrade. $700 is a big pill to swallow for the intercooler!

Hahaha yeah my buddy and I started this page because we are always working on our 335d and x5d's so why not document it all and chase those youtube dollars lol

This is the beauty of this boost pipe. It works WITH the stock intercooler! Similar to their 335d boost hose. Normally the factory seals last about 10 months before they start to leak from all the boost the tune is making

scrap that eBay crap and wait a week. it will be worth it. trust me

Any idea on pricing? I'm not doing it until next weekend, and I'll probably do it anyway once the bumper is off and I can stand a bit closer, just to hold it over. What I SHOULD do is just buy the better intercooler, which comes with this pipe too, doesnt it?

no idea on pricing. I can't justify upgrading the intercooler because I never track my car ect and this is why I really like this boost hose. it eliminates all the weak factory connections

So this isn't the hose that goes from the cold side of the IC to the intake right? This is the hot side from the turbo to the IC?

Correct. Turbo to I/C.

I tow 3000 - 5000 lbs once a month or so and don't think that I've ever seen much more than 10F degrees of separation between outside air temperature and Intake temperature while going up a hill or accelerating briskly.

I'm probably missing something, but I never understood why an upgraded intercooler was needed on a stock X5D.

Do those of you with full deletes see something different with the stock intercooler?
