BMW M2 Blow-Off Valve and Turbo Inlet Pipe Install - (N55 Engine)

My buddy Evan brought his 2018 BMW M2 over the other day and we installed a Blow-Off Valve and a Turbo Inlet Pipe. We made a very detailed install video to help you guys out that are wanting to do the same or just to see what's involved. Below are some links to the parts he used and some of the tools you will want on hand!

I just replaced the fresh air inlet hose on my 2015 435i. Removal of the fan assembly gave me plenty of room to install the pipe. For the M10 bolt at the turbo, I used a long 1/4” extension and fed it through above the water pump motor.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@randyhayward9880 thanks for the additional info! 🍻

[@Rennthusiast]

Love how thorough your videos are. Huge resource for BMW owners although your absolute best video of all time was the rear wiper delete on the Porsche 993 911 😂 Keep it up!

+Evans Tampubolon you got it!

[@laijiang6162]

Thanks for the info, that is very helpful!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Lai Jiang you’re welcome 🍻

[@EvanGoyuk]

Great Video! I need to get a BOV for my n55!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Evan Goyuk you are really going to love this one then 😁

Looking to install the same parts this weekend. Along side of the Diverter valve and turbo inlet going to do a coolant change, thermostat hose/flange upgrade, and boost pipe as well. Hopefully with the coolant change I'll just rip the 2 hoses right out. I also have a oil catch can as well so the breather line hopefully is easier for me since it is already detached from my engine.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Sofa King good luck! 👍

[@CastleRockable]

I'm not sure if it is different spec'd M2s. I'm in Canada and my 2018 LCI M2 the "T20" screw holding in the breather pipe is a "T25", very important to check how the screw fits, I almost stripped the T25 using a T20 bit and realized something was not right, checked with a T25 and out it comes. I did it a bit differently, ripped out the turbo inlet to almost an out position and just got to it with a 1/4" ratchet with no extensions. Granted my other side of the breather hose was disconnected from the engine already as I have an oil catch can.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Sofa King thanks for the info!

[@SeanMichaels23]

Can a turbo valve be installed with a air intake?

[@Jabbazuki]

HOLY SHIT what a pain in the ass this is!! Thanks a lot BMW lol

[@HelpMeDIY]

[@johnbunsowlinden3416]

Little off topic but those 'jacks' you lift your car with what brand are they? Thanks for great video!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+John Bünsow Linden the QuickJack?

[@jeanksk8xxx]

Si es para hacerlo en Costa Rica escríbame para que no le traveseen el N55

[@luisvargas4577]

Can you install the BOV in any direction?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Luis Vargas that I don’t know for sure so maybe someone else can chime in

[@NoCompM2]

Hey I had a question. Do you think if you cut down the 5mm Allen key that it would have worked with a lower profile?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Andrei Bogdan maybe. Let us know if you try it!

[@NoCompM2]

@@HelpMeDIY I will report back my findings tomorrow. Doing the installation then.

[@NoCompM2]

Did you get the inlet to sit perfectly flush on the coupling near the turbo? I noticed on yours and mine I can't fully slide it on because of the 10mm nut and stud

[@HelpMeDIY]

@@NoCompM2 what you see is all I remember since it wasn’t my car

[@NoCompM2]

Appreciate the video. I completed the job in 7.5 hours. Without your guidance this would have been 2x harder. Thank you. Putting o ring lube helped a lot. Grinding the Allen was a no go. Your method worked with long ball head hex. I turned it and used regular Allen to do final tightening. Again, really really appreciate the video.

[@cuttthroatperformance2752]

Pain in the ass when I put mine in. Took me 30 min.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Cuttthroat Performance sounds right 😆

[@shhhlongdeek2921]

Just installed mine inlet and it took me 6 hours, never going to do it ever again

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@shhhlongdeek2921 but you did it! 😆

[@JBBIV]

I’m doing this in my garage right now. I’m currently removing the stock diverter valve and on 4 occasions so far you’ve said the wrong sizes

[@HelpMeDIY]

+J B sorry if that’s the case! Is it possible yours were different? Hope you still found the video helpful.

[@NICK-qu8io]

For top hose...Use 4 dimes to put between the the clamp and it should release.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Marc that works, huh? Very interesting. Thanks for the tip!

[@user-yo6cb1sf2n]

Wow what a waste of time...waited all this time and you couldn’t even do some revs!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+LOUIS V so you watched an entire detailed install video when all you wanted to hear was revs? You didn’t think about skipping to the end? I think this one is on you 😂
