How to remove fitting from intake pipe?
All,
I'm kinda stuck on how to remove this fitting from the intake pipe? Don't want to snap the fitting or break it. I tried to pull, no luck. Can't twist due to other components connected to the fitting. Any advice or ideas would be greatful!

I can't remember the combo of squeeze and pull.. but I had trouble getting it off my older car. Can I ask if you're trying to get the whole intake off? How the heck can you get to the retaining clip down by the cold side? I'm looking at my car, and had it all apart, but couldn't figure out how the heck to get to the clip. It's at least a foot deep in the engine, so I would have to use a very very long set of pliers or a screwdriver, but risk not being able to get it out or losing it down the engine bay.

Very cool. I tried to look up the FTP kit, and it seemed that all the piping was from the other side of the turbo to the intercooler, and the intercooler back, not that air intake piping. I looked it up on newtis, but it really just says "disconnect" haha. However.. one thing to help you out on what it says: smaller pipe disconnects from the intake pipe. The larger one on the right you need to disconnect from the cylinder head cover.

The new FTP Motorsport charge+boost pipes looks and feel like high quality products. Much much better than the OEM ones, which are made of lots of rubber and plastic and slightly soft metal at the joints. Now the throttle is slightly, but noticeably more responsive thanks to the less restrictive flow design. To my surprise, my fuel economy improved as well! Perhaps I was leaking boost before but I did not find any leak in the OEM pipes. This is a must upgrade to make the car more reliable as all BMW cars are prone to charge pipe leak and blow ups even if you are not boosting the car. FTP Motorsport even added a hole or two on the charge pipe reserved for water meth injection! Would highly recommend this product if you plan on making your car more reliable.
