only photos now, but I must say I love sound of BOV

I will make video after I change original M3 intake rubber hose with some silicone pressure one - it is weakest point of my setup now

Awesome work. Looking very tidy as well, an inspiration to us M10 owners!

One thing tho, I'd be a bit nervous about the standard rad not providing enough cooling, especially with the IC in front as well - does it run warm?

I fitted 71°C thermostat and stock radiator is only temporary solution - it is working without overheating now with temperature in the middle but i tried it for only 10km yesterday. I am also using water wetter and stock radiator is only 2 years old so it helps also.

ha ha ha, death by boost, just think when you have silicon on there you should get even more boost as you wont have silly floppy bmw rubber hoses expanding all over the place

while I am waiting for silicone coupler I have time to improve few things, give new gaskets etc...

biggest deal is oil drain line which was connected to oil dipstick for first test

it was working but I want to make it bulletproof

this connection should be much better

I had to dissassemble it a little
