Technically, if its plumbed back yes, its legal.

But its still loud, i wouldn't open it up past a cop, im sure they will have a say in it.

BTW, take out the fins in the end of your ssq bov. This will get rid of that homosexual squeek sound.

dude there messing with you

the flutter although it sounds great it actualy doing damage to you turbo!!!.

if you have your bov spring too loose it doeasnt vent properly so the air is forced back through your turbo (the wrong way ) to the

doooo dooo do do dod do do noise you hear is the blades of your turbo cutting through the air .

as for bov increasing power im no expert but if that were true it would be stated in the sticky about skyline power mods .

baaaaaaaaaaahahahaha, in think someone needs to learn about sarcasm.

also needs to learn about how a bov works. if the spring is too loose on a bov then it will vent properly. it just might leak a bit under acceleration. if a spring is too tight then it won't vent properly and you will get compressor surge.

there are too many posts in this thread and not enough time to facepalm them all. threads like this are why i spend most of my time in wasteland. at least discussions there are intelligent.... or contain pics of hot bishes

you could have totally just plus oned this here post...so rude :happy:

ok so i am just about to convert my stock plenum to a forward facing plazmaman...

now i guess i have to remove the stock rb25 bov as there is no place to put it now..

how would i set up a bov on a forward facing setup?

i have a turbosmart vport bov laying around i could use but i would rather use stock and it doesnt have the ghey sound...

any ideas?

not for a street car..

making 300rwkw..

Sorry its not a great photo but this is how mines setup. Lots of people say it needs to be as close to your throttle body as possible but mine works fine as it is, Little tight but still vents etc.

A friend has his on the pipe off the front of his TB with a stainless pipe across the front of the car (just behind the radiator into his intake pipe) but its a bit cheaper to do it the way mine is done

personally the stock BOV and a good pod sounds great. take the heat shield off the bonnet or get a frp bonnet, for more noise.

not a fan of flutter (wen i hear it i look around for the nearest VL with chrome on it).

ssv, greddy type-r/s etc meh.

but each to their own.

Weld it on in the driver side gaurd, before the t/b. VTA it. 300kw, im guessing tuned? Any decent tuner can tune in a vta bov.

Easiest option, i did it...but of course there is always the risk of being pulled up for it.

I cbf making up a return pipe, they look like ass, chrome or no chrome.

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 馃槄   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
