They might look similar but many parts can have subtle differences. I'd buy the part that realoem lists for your car.

Just make sure both sides of the pipe are clipped into the intercooler when you come to fit it.
Last thing you want is the pipe blowing off when going up a steep hill - I would know |

Hiya mate, do you know what size jubilee clips you used to fit this boost pipe? I seen on another thread somewhere that you recommended to use additional clips...

The reinforced hose I got of eBay also seems very good quality. |

In my view, there really shouldn't be much oil in this pipe anyway! Although I have changed mine, I think the bigger issue is the amount of oil getting to this section - I have fears it could be my turbo seals/bearings passing oil and therefore probably in need of a rebuild and/or the crankcase breather is allowing too much oil into the air intake. I think the latter is the most probable cause due to the poor separation of air/oil in the E90s. |

its oil vapour..ie atomised oil,,its highly pressurised and finds its way through any slight defect in seals etc,,the seals have to be slightly oiled to slip in,although i have read they have to be put in dry,,so conflicting info.
