What is this part called that is connected to the charge pipe and are there any upgrades to it? Feels a little flimsy to me

Can you be more specific the picture is quite broad as it shows many components.

Do you mean the chargepipe “elbow”? Yes there are numerous options there. Larger chargepipe that directly connects to the cold side intercooler piping, or a more sturdy meth elbow. Though since you already have meth bungs tapped in the chargepipe, probably not necessary.

Yeah I was wondering about the black part connected to the charge pipe, is it necessary to upgrade if I'm not running meth? Im also running hks BOV on the charge pipe

The Long version ER Charge pipe replaces that elbow... as far as other aftermarket options just to replace that piece I'm not sure maybe the BMS Meth Elbow? I need to double check.

It is flimsy which is why we recommend all customers who get the ER CP from us to get the long version.

Just go for the whole BMS N54 Chargepipe setup with two meth bungs

Is it necessary to upgrade the elbow if I'm not running meth? Can a flimsy one cause me to have a boost leak?
