Ok so was able to get in touch with Go Fast Bits and found out that the DV for a 2007 n54 e90 is their T9301 for future reference for people who do not know. I was wondering if anyone has used them on here and if you have found then below $150? GFB puts out a good product and for personal preference i just do not like the sound of a BOV.

Try it and report back

If you're planning on swapping the CP that has connections for the stock DVs you could get them to work, the only issue I can potentially see with it is that the N54 has special connections for the DV hoses and the Hoses aren't sold separately AFAIK, so with all aftermarket parts you could get it to work.

If you're just looking to avoid the BOV sound and not spend much money, the stock DVs will still hold boost as long as they're in good shape and the non-BMW branded ones can be purchased from ECS for like 60 each I believe.

yes they did explain to me that i would have to get longer hoses, to make this work.

It's not listed under "performance" because it's not technically a performance upgrade to anything, although no diverter valves or blow off valves really are.

I was personally kinda interested in the Turbosmart Kompacts for diverters because I'm also not interested in having a BOV and the build quality is supposed to be excellent, but as the years have gone on more and more proof that the stock DVs aren't nearly as bad as people originally claimed has popped up. Really the only reason I see to switch from them is if you want a BOV, or if you stumble upon a nice combo deal for a charge pipe & DV/BOV while upgrading your charge pipe. You can service the stock ones or purchase new ones for cheap, and I'm not sure that I believe the recirculating system can potentially "shock" the turbos considering how our intake system is set up, the valves dump just behind the filters back into the inlet and still have the entire intake system to go through like the rest of the air, so a BOV doesn't have any benefit there either.

thank you for the clarification, that is what i was looking for. I was looking at GFB bc with the metal instead of rubber inside, i figured it was a set it and forget it kind of situation
