Charge pipe upgrade with bootmod3

[GT81]

Hi guys, rookie tuner here.
I just purchased my bm3 tune and as I was gathering some knowledge about the tune I see people recommending a charge pipe upgrade to deal with the increased boost pressure. I see this across the board for all other BMW engines but couldn't find any info for X5M F85 S63.

I plan on running map 1 with 93 octane for now. Probably a map 2 after a downpipe upgrade down the road. I'm just curious about a pipe change upgrade as I cannot find info on that or any parts made for our engines. I drive a 2018 X5M. Much appreciated.

Intercoolers on f85 are different that f10/12. There is not much room between the end of the IC and the turbo inlets. No charge pipe required or available.

So far only Dinan is probably tuned. The rest needs some work especially at WOT too rich.

As I already stated, there is literally no need to upgrade the charge pipes. The upper IC housing runs litterally to the discharge of the turbo.
