sequential shift transmission is not cheap..basically allows u to shift up and down through the gears doing away with the current H pattern all manuals have.. i think cheap ones would be under 10k and these can go up until 20k or more. brands such as Holinger, HKS, Trust and a few more..im not sure coz i cant afford it anyway

a blow off valve is just a noise maker that has no function lol it goes pssh... nah just joking :) well a blow off valve has nothing to do with sequential transmissions other than the fact that they both belong in cars... a blow off valve is a valve with a moving piston in it that is located just before your inlet manifold and what it does is that it plumps back the air back into the cycle or just vents it to atmosphere when you release throttle. the objective is to prevent compressor surge whereby the air is trapped and has no where to go but the way it came from and that basically causes the compressor wheel to spin backwards...long term damage to turbo :(

i know im bad at explaining and im prolly not 100 percent spot on but i gave it a shot :D

      I always find it both fascinating and educating seeing you go through all this. It's a bit like "BMWs are great. Except with one massive caveat: as long as you fix this two page long list of things where components are broken by design" Every now and then I consider getting a BMW. And then I read your posts and think that maybe the RB life is not so bad after all

      For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.

      This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      Welp don't know if this is good but I can hear a sizzling sound in my battery Hope I didn't fry it. Turns out a bad battery in the multi meter will give a false reading (likely what happened when I said I had 15x volts), swapped the battery and monitoring now. I'm hoping that sizzling sound is just the equlisation charging

      Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.
