To stay in front of the pack, you need some endurance. That is, the components of your A90 Supra need to hold up to the various pressures the B58 can produce. As we went over in our last post, we have some experience with bursting BMW charge pipes, so we wanted to continue the tradition of added durability and performance to the Supra.

Also, in our last post, we covered our plans for the Supra charge pipe's new design, but let's review now that our production sample is here in the R&D facility.

We have durability covered with the new aluminum construction, devoid of any seams or weak points that could burst under pressure. Our aluminum sections are joined with a tough stretch of silicone secured with a pair of constant-tension worm gear clamps, allowing for flexibility when installing, but will also contain the increased boost.

However, with more power, stronger bolt-ons are needed, which is why we're focusing on the GR Supra's charge pipe.

It's beyond old news at this point that BMW pulled most of the weight when it came to the development of the A90 Supra, basing it on the G29 Z4. The tag-team effort means that the MKV ain't no slouch in terms of performance and quality. Like any mass-produced vehicle, there will still be some shortcomings for the sake of cost.

The B58 that powers the Supra is unique in that BMW integrated the air-to-water intercooler into the intake manifold. This union works wonders for reducing pressure loss by eliminating the cold side of the intercooler pipe system. The half that remains,
