Hey Raider,
Looking forward to your DIY. Thanks for taking the time and effort to help us have an reasonably priced BOV solution.

The BOV sound is not for everyone but usually when you hear it in person and it sounds awesome!!

[jbake]

go for the BOV if you want its your car...the SSQV is sick, just make sure you get the adjustment screw just right so you don't get any compressor surge

You're local, maybe when i put it together you can come check it out and see if you like how it sounds in person....trust me, the vids don't do these thing justice, you gotta here what wet sneaker against basketball floor sound...no one expects it on a BMW...that's what great about it...

That would be awesome.
I live in Fairfax, VA so DC is not very far for me.
I do not have my 335i yet, probably around June timeframe but I am already planning my mods. BOV is definitely something that I am looking into but the current ones out are pretty damn expensive.

I use to have a B5 S4, the bi-turbo V6 model with quite a few mods. I did have upgraded diverter valves but there was no good BOV solution for the S4. I believe the S4's setup did not allow for a BOV.

Let me know when you make some progress and I would definitely like to check it out. I'll bring my buddy. He's got a turbo'd S2k with a BOV that sounds nice and loud, fast as shit too.

I also enjoy working on cars so I can try to help out if need be.

We don't have a "Regular" kit. What you are referring to is simply the kit WITHOUT a blow off valve. That means, the pipe is pre-flanged for either the TiAL or HKS BOV, and you source your own. The other two kits come complete with the BOV.

^^ Oh ok, that's makes sence. So we could use the the "Regular" kit (no blow off valve provided), if we wanted to use like say a Greddy Type S Blow off valve right?

Hey could i come and check it out.... i also want to add the BOV to my 335i... I'll def. give you a hand or i could take the pics for teh DIY... let me know.... thanx:rocks:

[SoCal335i]

I would just get the Ultimate Racing BOV kit, i did and it works perfect and sounds great!! I get compliments all day everyday on my car and how it sounds. Now i heard someone mention about the screw in the SSQV can someone elaborate on that. I guess i want to know how do you adjust and how do you know when it is adjusted to where you want it to be?

[Raider]

Socal335i, can you take an uplclose pic of your BOV and where everything is supposed to connect to?

[T Bone]

I understand there are 2 types of BOVs, one where you need to choose the right spring and the other called the "trigger" type.

Who makes the presumably better "trigger" type?

yes. go to ultimate racing and get the HKS BOV, its $300 less than active's bov and it is the pull trigger type. forget paying 750 for a bov thats just stupid. If they have sold more than 5 of those i would be surprised.

Also my car is at home and i am at work so when i get there tonight ill take some pics of the BOV installed. The hardest part of installing these things is learning the trick of how to remove the diverter valve hoses, tricky little clamps. Ill explain when i post the pics.

Cool, I look forward to the pics.

[SoCal335i]

here are the pics. the thing is when you do it you have to take the intake apart from the kidney grilles and also remove the airbox, it pops off with rubber plugs. the clamps on the stock diverters are new to me, you have to use a towel or some gloves and you need to turn the grey tabs they only go one way to open. It was hard on mine. after that its pretty easy and it comes with instructions.

[T Bone]

Very cool....thanks for the pics SoCal....

This is the trigger type?

Ah dude, you are a very helpful member...more people on here should lend a helping hand to help other, rather than their unwanted opinions...


I appreciate it man, if you were here in the East coast, drinks' on me!

[PSI Power]

$595. We have sold well over that amount and all of the customers have been satisfied including a couple on this forum.
