Hard Pipe/Intake Box F56S

Wondered if anyone does or knows someone that does hard piping for the turbo inlet pipe, charge pipe and boost pipe? Also possibly a custom air intake box. Basically looking to get rid of all the stock tubing and box. Thanks much for any info.

The replacement turbo inlet pipes I've seen have all been custom jobs. Forge makes intercooler hard pipes.

For intake boxes, Arma makes a complete carbon fiber replacement but it is $900+. Vipcustomparts makes an intake that replaces the top half of the airbox, the maf tube, and filter. Afe makes something similar to vip but it's terrible quality.

For open intakes there is awe, cravenspeed, k&n, nm engineering, forge, mishimoto.

Thank you for the response G26okie, yeah I’ve already looked into all that, maybe should have been a little more specific, basically trying to find someone that’s made these pieces, that does mandrel pipe bending and can do machining. Supposedly Forge makes a turbo inlet hard pipe, I’ve only seen it on euro/uk sites, not really trying to incure their high taxes and shipping. I’ve seen three companies offer boost/charge pipe kits, Forge being the most and the other two companies I’ve never heard of. So yes I’m looking for a custom job, just need someone that’s made these pipes, from bending them to maching the turbo inlet coupler on the intake pipe and sensor bungs. My only other option is to find a shop, so my next question would be if anyone knows of a shop in SoCal that would be able to custom fab these parts and deals with Minis?

Now that you mention it, I just saw the forge turbo inlet pipe on ecstunings website.
