The R53 MINI Cooper S engine utilizes a turbocharger to pressurize the intake tract, force-feeding the engine air to produce power. FTP Motorsport has identified two weak points that impair the efficiency of this system and engineered solutions to replace them.

First is the FTP Motorsport Hi-Flow Discharge Pipe. It replaces the factory rubber hose between the turbocharger and intercooler (hot-side) with a new CNC mandrel-bent pipe and silicone couplers that will not expand under boost and eliminates the OEM power-robbing muffler.

Second, the FTP Hi-Flow Charge Pipe replaces the factory necked-down hose between the intercooler and throttle body (cold-side) with a new pipe and silicone couplers that will not expand under boost. The system eliminates the OEM sound chamber which results in increased turbo response as well as mid-range and top-end power.
