How to install a BLOW OFF VALVE on an F30 BMW 335 N55 (Plug and Play Turbosmart Dual Port VR9)

[@JL-pq4rl]

as soon as you said "we need to remove the water pump" I was like nah I dont need it lol

[@VloggingWithDane]

Lmao

[@manperformance9253]

Not hard bro

[@superstarsfastcars]

Exactly!!!! I was all in for an easy install. 😁

[@dgaoimages7384]

lmao

[@Products233]

But once you get passed the taping of the Allen screw 🤣 you’re all good brother

[@Mike-Brewer]

I'm over half way through this install and I could not have done it without this video. Thank you guys so much!

[@801russc]

Tips to make this easier. 1st: plan a weekend just in case. 2nd: remove the coolant and water pump, it makes it so much easier. 3rd: use an electric ratchet after you break all 3 loose with a normal ratchet, you can use a drill with a 90° attachment, I tried both. 4th: invest in a head lamp. 5th: after you get this or gfb installed and before you refill your coolant, now is a good time to replace the leaking oil thermostat housing gaskets. Just remember to have lots of rags placed just below both the oil cooler lines and and right above your alternator even if your drained your oil. Have fun and take breaks if you get frustrated.

[@lloyd.8272]

I took the intercooler out and the turbo inlet pipe and then removed the diverter valve. Whole install took a hour.

[@manperformance9253]

@@lloyd.8272 pretty easy especially on a rwd f30

[@andrewthompson6893]

Props for using soothing music for a tricky/stressful install. Well done.

[@AmoDiaLZ]

The cinematography and camera work is astounding on this channel

[@TommyLGarage]

I Was certain I’d hate it. But I love it. Nicely done again !

[@ZillaFullBoost]

I think most people go with a BOV for sound. Our stock DV sounds similar to this. This might be a few decibels louder. Turbo Smart does make good products though. I had it on my GTR. Thanks for the video.

[@lmc333]

Bryan, you make it very hard to ignore your channel, happy 2020 buddy ! Cheers. Excellent presentation as usual !

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! We're just getting warmed up :)

[@denniscasasnovas2372]

Crazy been watching your channel for a couple days trying to learn as much as I can. I just picked up at 2013 BMW 328Xi then noticed you’re in jersey as well will definitely meet up when you have your next event.

[@frederickrushlow8297]

I don’t even have an f30 and I love your videos.

[@johnungvarsky8875]

Great job on the video, Bryan! Amazing as usual! When you installed the Turbosmart N55 Plumb Back (quieter) version on my car, I couldn’t figure out how you were going to video record your Dual Port model installation. It’s tight and difficult to see. You guys did a great job with the multiple cameras and editing. Plus starting the video out with showing the parts configuration on the bench really helped to visualize it. I probably have a better idea now after watching the video than when I was watching you install it live! It’s been over a month and the Turbosmart has been great! I really notice the lack of turbo lag and the power being much more available all the time than with the stock Diverter Valve. It’s obvious to me that the stock DV unnecessarily dumps too much boost and Turbosmart intelligently bleeds off just the excess boost. So the power is always available. My Plumb Back model has a subtle whippoorwill sound when I suddenly let up off the gas a bit. Pretty cool. Thanks again!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks, John! It’s been a great upgrade, even over the GFB. I was nervous about the venting to atmosphere, but it’s been great 👍🏼 good find on these!

[@johnungvarsky8875]

Kies Motorsports I’m anxious to hear your Turbosmart Dual Port model in person at some point. Experimenting with the mic location was neat.

[@pretread]

As always a well prepared video.. with right detailed instructions ….good job… thanks man .. my stock diverter with DV+ was showing deterioration in holding boost and…..after a long research I could find turbosmart Kompact EM BOV VR9 Plumb Back only on your web site …..seems you are the first one to bring it to the attention of f30 n55 crowd…i tried to place an order through your web site but freight calculation with DHL was going wrong .. I live outside US… so I had to place the order direct with turbosmart….. keep enough stocks .. everyone with N55 F30 will order them soon

[@jrgotswag88]

you have the go fast bits upgrade?

[@clint.mendoza]

This job is made 100x easier by removing the turbo inlet from the top and approaching it from top and bottom. The top-most bolt that you try to reach/screw in blindly from the bottom is actually much more accessible from the top. Especially given that the Turbosmart is bulkier than the GFB, doing from the top makes it much easier.

[@customcarcare5919]

You can’t remove the turbo inlet from the top? And from the bottom it’s even harder to remove than the BOV itself?

[@raulmartinez3484]

@@customcarcare5919 You can remove the turbo inlet from the top. It's the only way to do it. But in order to remove the turbo inlet you must remove the air filter.

[@lucian_7588]

This is what I’ll be doing! Need to replace my turbo inlet anyway!

[@WhoMeee]

Thanks for all these amazing videos, huge help! Wish u continued success brother 💪

[@scalley]

Like the way this sounds! I still prefer the Tial BOV for the N54 in terms of sounds but this sounds great too!

[@aspire56]

When me and my dad did this we got it in about 45 min we got so lucky with the last bolt. I’m just went in first try. Shout out to kies for the DIY tho

[@JAydUBr6]

Did you have a lift?

[@struger]

Great video as always! I lov every of them. I just instaled gfb+ on mine so this one maybe spring time:)))

[@TheWrenchLab]

"Scale of 1-10... This is about a 38".🤣🤣🤣🤣 = Diverter valve top right bolt.

[@jhill92]

Hey Brian, big fan here. Been watching your videos for some time now and until recently I really thought you were some guy from some big tuning part mailorder business. Your videos are great and I think what makes you special is that your explanations are very clear and on point and you seem to be an overall good guy! Now while watching this specific video, I couldn't help but wonder if it wouldn't be much easier to get there from above? You'd have to remove the intake and boost pipe, maybe move the coolant reservoir but then you'd have to have all kinds of room to operate, or am I missing something here? Would appreciate to hear your thoughts on this!

[@MrThePraye]

Top quality content. I wish you are as switched on with using iPhone camera when doing interior upgrades like steering wheel trim and gear knob etc. you just let one camera run and say take this tiny bolt out and it’s here but actually if you could use your iPhone camera once in a while to show close ups, would be great. Just some feedback. Thanks again.

[@WhatsyourForte]

This video is right on time as I was looking at the GFB one. If you had to choose one sounds like you would go with the turbo smart one correct?

[@AlliKombat]

BOV is plug & play, sounds easy but the actual task is such a pain in the ass. Thanks for remind me to send it to workshop instead of d.i.y. 😂

[@sttm1283]

you drove around with the same shirt and hat for a week? :D

[@Project_4Play]

Great video and detail how to get the job done

[@jack.f30]

My car sounds like this already and it has the stock diverter? Is that normal I think most of the sound is coming from the air intake tho...

[@amarchmike]

If you have the sound like this with the stock part, please check your lower part of intake pipe. It's probably not stick to the Turbo properly. I had that issue before :D

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Thank you for the good video

[@superdiver.]

You are like a bmw master tech.

[@dirtym3zy]

Thats a sexy sound right there!

[@steveguerrero]

The most easy plug and play for the history lol

[@kennkart]

Dear kies motorsport. I have a question. Whats the part number for bov n20 engine? I have the 2013 528i n20.

[@typejlb]

Ima be honest after installing every bolt-on, on my F30 335i it already sounds like it has a BOV.

[@mmsharp]

typejlb same dude I kinda like the stock diverter valve at high boost

[@typejlb]

Sequester Bartholomew Rosenthal I agree it’s actually pretty loud and it sounds really nice!

[@M3BEATS]

I’m in the same boat and agree. I’d like to get more performance benefits vs the go fast bits upgrade to decide if it’s worth the effort at this point. Great tutorial for installing either part though. I struggled with the GFB install on the N55.

[@shardsofcontent4829]

Guy 5 here. Same same. It’s one of the things that people always remember about riding in my 335. Might have a lot to do with the type of intake we all have. I started to hear it loud after installing the basic BMS naked filter intake.

[@jonnynatali2436]

Same here mppk tune 335i gt with only K&N air filter diverter valve is very loud and sounds so bad-azz (people turn around to se the car) my friend had a 435i gc but didn't sound so cool. I Wonder why.

[@sjcpilot]

Whats the difference between the VR9 and the GFB?

[@R1d3rBul]

I'm thinking the same

[@ryancaso]

Awesome video! Any plan for the N26 engine in the future? What’s the sound like compared to something like an injen intake? Sounds similar in the video. Thanks.

[@skyliner34gaming80]

I have a m235i would this work for mine?

[@luismartinez-ke2zw]

do they have any for the S55

[@emmanuelmillet4719]

For a twin turbo you just need one valve or two ?

[@abdielmaldonado3018]

Great quality 🙏🏻

[@spussego]

wouldn't it have been easier to do if you removed the inlet pipe as well?

[@manperformance9253]

It's hard as f*** idk about a 38 1-10 for me it was really a 7 out of 10 water pump was easy. Hard part Is going up for the top bolt but it wasn't too bad. It took me 3 days to finish mine only because I used the wrong tools and stripped the top bolt.....YOU WILL NEED A SIZE 5 METRIC LONG BALL ALLEN SOCKET!! It's impossible without it. Also Thank you kies for the bootmod3 tune!!!!

[@oscargarcia4976]

Im having such a hard time taking off the top bolt

[@Adrenalinejunkieslife]

Do they make one for the b58??

[@llstarfirellJM]

No B58 doesn’t have an option for it since it’s electrical

[@CarlosSTech]

What about the s55 f80

[@heliosdelsol]

Will that BOV fit the N20? Probably not but gotta ask anyway.

I wish they would create one for the N20 engine f30 328i.

[@socommaster]

You guys need to do a night vision retrofit

[@eskania]

So the throttle response is better.

[@johnungvarsky8875]

I’ve got it and the throttle response is definitely better. When you let your foot off the gas slightly the Turbosmart bleeds off just enough so that when you step back on it power is immediate. With the stock Diverter Valve there is often lag because it’s dumped much more of the boost pressure and there’s a lag while you wait for pressure to build back up.

[@eskania]

@@johnungvarsky8875 Its the same like GFB DV right.

[@johnungvarsky8875]

kimo boy it’s the same part, only better!

[@carlospadilla6196]

Can i do this for a 13’ 550i or are they really different? i would live to hear this from my turbos!

[@josephfilipiak3331]

If the oem diverter valve is plumb back don’t you need to watch the mounting orientation of the Turbosmart? If it dumps completely atmospherically you’re gonna have mass air flow issues right?

[@crism515]

what camera/lens do you film with?

[@seldinkorkutovic6481]

Did you have any problems with it after the install like with the turbo?

[@brendanbowen9361]

Will the install be easier since I'm doing a tic pipe and mst inlet at the same time? I imagine there will be a decent amount of room with those 2 pipes off the turbo.

[@btort8750]

Is this a mod thats very hard to notice from smog guys? In my state i will fail visual if they see it.

[@TheShadow49085]

Hey Brian, I’m looking into purchasing one of these bmw’s and I’m just curious, can you install this bov on one of these on a stock motor? I’m new and just trying to do research on these vehicles before I purchase

[@200mphBrian]

Do they make this for the 2015 650

[@STORM_1800]

Did the level difficulty increase because it’s a x drive or is it the same for the rwd models ?

[@luisvargas4577]

Can the BOV get installed in any direction?

[@01wizmiles01]

great video like always. is there a bov for a f30 320d 2012. would love to put one on. thanks

[@chaoticend27]

Yo yo Bryan! Will you be doing any X5 how to’s in the mere future?

[@exoprasta]

Apart from the woosh, does dv+ serve the same function?

[@M3BEATS]

exoprasta yes they serve the same purpose. You stock diverter may rupture if you run a tune with more boost. Either option is a step up from stock.

[@charlesanderson5376]

Do you make this for n20! Also

[@craeftig2617]

When is this going to be available for the n26?

[@DocTango]

Is this BOV only for the F30 or can it be installed on any N55 motor? I just bought an m235i (my first BMW) and I'm pretty sure it has an N55 in it.

[@officiallopez2334]

Does this work on the n20 engine? Since the diverter valve works on the n20? Or am I wrong?

[@hgfjghf1]

Gfb diverter valve or turbo smart diverter valve??

[@sfgamedevelopment]

I have the go fast bits diverter valve with the pure turbo stage 2, and mine already sounds like this. Not sure if this would be any louder or if you would see any performance difference. Pretty interesting

[@JoshHallie]

hey id really appreciate a response . i’m looking for advice i installed one of these and i have a lot of turbo lag, did you guys get any codes? i have a code for bob clamped closed. also mine is louder. do you guys have a intake ?

[@razorzai3508]

I installed CTS turbo BOV on my F30 n20 and get the stutututu sound

[@Suldusk]

Hey Bryan I've noticed that almost all LCIs have that flutter instead of whoosh. Almost all Bxx engines. Does this mean on a BXX engine it's going to flutter?

[@andresmarcos9590]

Do you happen to have one for the 328i

[@jrposadas1988]

Hey Brian, will this fit a 2018 BMW M3 F80? Also whats the link for this part of it does?

[@c3d313]

Can the same mods and upgrades look the same on a 328i?

[@carlozmrc]

Is this a twin turbo car? Mine is twin turbo 335i 2014. Just wondering if I can do the same

[@AyaxRo]

You dont have a twin turbo 335i, if your car is 2014 its an F30, same chassis as the one in the video, which means you have an N55. The N55 is a single turbo engine. "TwinPower Turbo" does not mean twin turbo.

Would it be easier to get to if u removed bumper and intercooler?

[@ericliu6692]

[@LifeofAngga]

Hai Brian i assume this will work on f32

[@explorewithzeshan]

Where I can buy that?

[@thunderwolf8052]

I purchased and installed the dual port bov after watching the video on my 2015 435i. I regret it. Immediately check engine light came on with a mass airflow error. Then the idrive drivetrain error followed. It should be plug and play right? I’m not sure if it’s not playing well with my Dinan or what. I’ll probably change it back to oem. $300 plus install and uninstall down the drain.

[@KiesMotorsports]

That sounds very strange. Are you sure everything was installed correctly?

[@thunderwolf8052]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had it installed by a certified mechanic. I will call Turbosmart and Dinan on tomorrow and have the installation double checked by another mechanic. Just in case. But so far it’s not looking good and it’s frustrating.

[@JAydUBr6]

@@thunderwolf8052 update?

[@MrVangboi05]

I think I would rather drop the intercooler and boost pipe, take off the inlet which would allow all the room needed to get to all the screws for the diverter valve.

for N20 is available?
