Looks like clamp was tightened too tight and not on turbo flange. Do aftermarket intake systems replace this pipe or do I need to replace it with OEM

 

Your main concern should be the two sensors that are plastic welded to the intake. I'm not aware of an aftermarket setup that comes with those sensors. I had originally broke off those two sensors and secured them to my AEM intake using rtv. Now I have a new oem pipe with the sensors, mated with a modified AEM intake pipe.

 

This is a pretty common problem as these get older.
You will nee the stock on since it has the sensors in it.

Thanks wmw , I ordered before I saw your reply - does it come with the rubber donut or do you happen sell it also

 

dealer had one, price wasnt too outrageous.
thanks for the quick responses though wmw! I'll be placing an order for a few things in the next month or two (if this thing stays together) for some go fast parts.
Old inlet pipe was very brittle, slapped the new one on and no more turbo whoosh.

 

The pipe does come with the inner donut / seal on the end for the turbo:

Get a new clamp also , it has a special cutout on the clamp, the old ones can get beat up and the tube can work its way off the turbo, when you install the intake tube make sure the turbo connection is clean of oil.

 

OP has an N18, the N14 intake hose won't work.

It is a common failure like Way stated, we have started stocking the hoses due to the increase in failures we see.

If you're having issues with the tube slipping off the compressor housing we sell a flange that will keep the tube from coming back off in the future: Turbo Inlet Flange

 

I got mine from Alta back in 2009. Works great.
