3 satge intake help

TheDoug · 10-25-2013, 07:07 PM

Can you use a 3 stage intake on a 328i that only has one vent hose connection at the bottom of the manifold?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you can. i put a 2011 328i intake manifold on my 06 325i. I had to actually plugged up one of the vent hose and extend some for the oil separator.

The intake i bought only has one vent hole and I need one with 2.

You only needed one hole on the 325 and got an intake with 2 right?

It can be done. A friend cut the return vent hose before the y split and attached a single hose to connect to the 3 stage. It will work no problem.

So he just did not hook up the the return hose?

Plug one up, or you can look into getting the hoses from an E60 5 series, which had one vent hole on the 3 stage IM.

Thanks for all your replies... when I first asked the question i did not realize that both vent holes were on a Y... i will probably just plug one up and move on.

Thanks again.

One more question... What would you plug the hole with?
