+2!

Stock DV's are rated for the normal amount of boost (6-8PSI).
You'll need an forge DV if your planning to run a tune. It holds much better, rated for higher levels of boost.

Trust me the n54 has a unique sound already, turbos whining up and with an intake you'll get that nice sound your looking for. Subtle yet agressive

Does anyone know if the 2011s have a BOV? The reason I am asking is because it seems it does, mind you it not loud though.

Nope, BMW would never put a BOV on their car from factory.
It's the stock DV's and turbo making the noise you are hearing.

Well, lets see, I have a Yamaha FZS Waverunner Supercharged and at 1800cc with the mods I have it is about 335 HP (dyno'd). Stock is listed at 200+ (yamaha doesn't release info but estimates are 225hp)
The ONLY reason I got a BOV was to save the clutch plates in the supercharger. It lets the pressure bleed off.
I see no reason whatsoever to use it on your 335 but hey, nobody wants to know the truth. just my 2c....

I'm running Evolution Racewerks setup with a TiAL BOV and runs fantastic with no boost/power loss. Their (ER) 135i destroys cars at the track, so don't beleive those who say you lose power. TiAL has a subtle sound, not like the loud squeel of a HKS, sounds nearly stock with a quiet whoosh.

FVM3 · 09-27-2010, 01:08 AM

it gives u sound but not every one likes it

persian54 · 09-27-2010, 03:28 AM

I loved my raptor dual bov

direct placement into the stock Cp

not as loud as AA

but louder than DVs

exactly what I was looking for hehe

I just installed the Synapse Kit yesterday, and totally love it. As far as the performance goes, I don't feel any difference, but I like the sound it makes. wushhhh....
