Nice work mate with the charge pipe and dv how is the noise as I'm after a stealthy type and not one with a massive gay bov sound

Get a blow-off valve that allows plumb-back (recirculation) setup.

The original BMW valves are recirculating, so they release the unwanted air charge back in to the air intake, rather than venting straight to atmosphere like a typical BOV.

There are no performance differences, it just suppresses the noise a bit more.

Who makes a good recirc one ?

I am not sure about whether they're "good" or not, but stick to reputable brands and you shouldn't go wrong.

Forge is a popular one that is recirculating, and I think turbosmart also make a recirculating valve for the N54 as well.

Mod 11 - CF diffuser

Swapped out the quad diffuser for a dual diffuser and closed out the gaps... looks much better (thanks InQ)

Mod 12 - DP, Vanguard exhaust and Spacers

Another step closer to FOB with install of a set of VRSF DPs and Vanguard Performance SS catback exhaust. Thanks to Whoosh and the boys at Active

Also wheels got a push out with 15s spacers on the rears. Front have to wait a week until 12s arrive

Pic 1 - Box spacers came in

Pics 2 - 6 - Vanguard exhaust before install
Pics 7 - 8 - New pipes

fo55il · 04-20-2015, 07:09 AM

Fuckingggggggggg yesssss

Post videos please

AUSf22 · 04-20-2015, 07:13 AM

Sounds good Socket! Time for some shadow-line trim to replace the chrome ones now

?!

Socket · 04-20-2015, 07:14 AM

This is what a $250 exhaust sounds like

Clip starts with rear shot of Stock exhaust / No DPs vs Vanguard exhaust / VRSF DPs...
Second half of clips is the same comparison from inside cabin (windows down)

AUSf22 · 04-20-2015, 07:16 AM

Can we get some videos of some extreme sideways actions too ^^?

How come your oil temp gauge is spiking up and down ?!
