Turbosmart Dual Port VR9 upgraded diverter valve
Link: https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...e18f&_ss=r
Installation video on an F30 n55: I saw this video today it looks like this would work on our f10 chassis. Has anyone tried this product before? |

I contacted customer service and this fits on a 2011 535i. They needed my vin so not sure if it fits all 2011's.
So this just helps hold more boost and sounds cool? Anything else? Last edited by BimmerHausPerformance; 12-17-2019 at 11:21 AM.. |

That's it. Personally not a fan of blow off valves, never understood the need to let everyone know your car has a turbo.

Fair enough. I personally enjoy engine sounds more than induction sounds, so it takes away a bit from my own enjoyment personally. Don't run enough boost to upgrade my diverter valves, so this is also not from experience though.

I am gonna do it, but I just don't have my turbo yet. I'm going with the Speedtech borgwarner set up.

You have to fab a mount and deal with the air intake which I am gonna do custom anyway. If you read their site they list what you have to do.

no sir. Have the GFB Diverter Valve. Think my custom intake is what gives it that sound.

will have to fab up alot of things. Jeff has no plans in making a kit for the 5 or 6 series anytime soon. Water pipe and mount have to be fabbed as well as the downpipe. Big Boost is a waste of time and customer service sucks. Had ordered a kit. Everything was a go just to find out the day the kit was supposed to be shipped out the mount wasnt compatible.

Hmm, I need to do some more research. I really liked Speedtech's #'s and their manifold, and I like the BorgWarner quality... Can pure turbo touch that set up as far as power? They seemed like the "economical" upgrade and didn't have as much potential. Also, speed tech was hitting ridiculous #s out of the box with no upgrades.
I would not mind doing the fab work if it gets me a better set up at the end. |

At what rpm do you get full boost with pure?
Yes, port fueling and their turbo it was around 650 whp, but that is with everything else STOCK. I am not opposed to being corrected, after all everyone is marketing and selling something. For me, there would have to be a big enough difference to justify the pain of going through getting it all to fit. And not to mention the higher costs and less support or community compared to the pure setup. |
