Benefits of Upgrading Your BMW with M340i Turbo Inlet

by Ashish Mishra

Turbo inlet pipes have two distinct purposes that are different from each other. First, optimizing a turbo inlet pipe can enhance the turbo's efficiency and responsiveness by enabling it to draw more air through an unobstructed and more voluminous flow path.

Second benefit that some may argue is equally or more important than efficiency and flow optimization is an increase in sound.

Paradigm Engineering delivers on both of these purposes regardless of the application. By replacing the weak and failure-prone plastic factory inlet with a more robust carbon fiber inlet, Paradigm Engineering ensures proper fitment with CNC-machined fittings that serve as a direct replacement to the OEM inlet.

Moreover, the improvements to the pipe's characteristics are beyond the material and fitment. The stock turbo inlet includes additional features, including multiple resonators, which cause flow restrictions, turbulence, and reduced turbo noises. These unwanted issues can be rectified by removing the resonators and enlarging and optimizing the path for a more uniform flow.

Consequently, the inlet provides more air to allow the turbo to be more efficient while also amplifying the turbo induction soundtrack, which is often desired.
