VRSF has Tial blow off valves for a good price (but you will need an upgraded spring):

This is the 1st video to use the o-ring and properly explain the spring options.. I had to figure it out myself 👌

Thank you Jason for all of your work, time and patience for making all the videos. I think you don't even can imagine how many people you have helped with your best-of-its-kind BMW-maintenance and improvement videos! Cheers from an E46 driver located in Germany! I wish you all the best!

I was having problems with the blow off valve charge pipe leaking. Switched to the diverter valve alimunium charge pipe and it worked perfect.

Great stuff 🤙🏽! Just got an N54 so loving these.

On the first 335i I bought, I blew the stock charge pipe when I did a pull onto the freeway. There was a loud pop and loss of power and I thought I blew the engine. I didn't find out until the shady dealership sent me a photo of it after I returned it back to them. That's what they get for selling me a car where the check engine light turned on literally 20 minutes after I drove it off the lot.

@17:20 I heard that it is the o ring gasket that hangs up. Others have reused the old gasket and it slipped on easier.

I don't know where you heard "11 LBS" Spring. Because these springs need to be opening and closing using the Vacuum from the engine. The N54 runs at 8 LBS vacuum. So really you want no more than an 8 LBS Spring or LESS. Yes it's fine to run a lighter spring because as long as the BOV is open on boost and closed at idle then it doesn't matter. I actually have what is considered a 9 LB spring and it's working fine.

[@goranlovrinovic6713]

Well that looks like a clean engine to me

I will like to see you do an install video of a lift kit on the E53?

[@jcastro8969]

I run a 9psi spring works great 👍

Hey by any chance can I buy the extra one you have that your aren’t going to use

[@ron8566]

@12:20 it looks pretty oily inside the charge pipe.

[@kc2213]

Does your BMS charge pipe touch any of the power steering lines? I tried installing the VRSF charge pipe but couldn't get it to not touch the power steering lines... I opted not to install it for fear of it eventually wearing through the ps lines.

[@352lambo]

Yes it's supposed to touched.. there's a relocation kit I might get.. but loosen up the reservoir bolts to clear most of the lines.. after installation put the bolts back on the reservoir

[@allmycarsisbroke]

It really didn't occur to you to install some hose protector, or conduit, or even duct tape to protect the PS hose from friction? That's a no-brainier, man.
