Before I begin, I want to stress that this is not a comparison thread. It is simply to give my unbiased review of these products. So please do not just state, "you should just go with this brand or that brand". Please just keep this relative to these products.
I noticed BavAuto started carrying this new brand of products, FTP motorsports. So I decided to reach out to FTP themselves and get their story of who they are and what else they do. I managed to speak to Kayo who is the CEO. I can't say enough good things about him. He is a fellow BMW owner and enthusiast and devoted his company's vision to serving the BMW community across all platforms. Just through the multiple emails we exchanged, it's clear that he stresses quality in his products at a competitive price. So without hesitation, I decided to give his company a shot. I ended up ordering a chargepipe with Tial flange, OCC, Air scoops, and Low oil temp thermostat.
Let's begin with the Chargepipe. FTP offers this charge pipe in stock DV setup or you can ask for a BOV flange in which case I went with Tial. You can have the flange towards the end of where it meets the intercooler uppipe, or towards the throttle body. I choose to have it near the throttle body to keep things somewhat hidden and stealthy under my intakes. The welds on this thing look great and the overall feel is of a high quality piece. FTP supplies all couplings, DV plugs, and even include a brand new throttle body clip. Fitment was spot on, fit like a glove without any issues whatsoever. Here are some photos
Next, I installed the air scoops. Pretty straight forward here. Great fitment and even uses the bumper screw to hold it in place at well as the plastic air intake push pins. Again, these had great fitment.
Up next was the Oil Catch Can. Great fitment as well, no issues. I did have to trim the U-Bend tube, but it really depends on where exactly you want to mount the actual can. Again, a real quality piece.
Last install was the Low Oil Temp Thermostat. Very simple install and works great. Prior to install, my car would see temps up to 250. After install I stay right around 220. Highly recommend this if you run your car hard or live in a hot climate like I do.
All in all, I can say I'm very satisfied with these products and I'm glad I gave FTP motorsports a chance because they definitely deserved it. They include photo instructions with all products so if you are a novice, you have a step by step guide to follow. Just wanted to share my experience since there hasn't been any review of any of their products. Let me know if you guys have any questions.
