anyone knows if we can install a blow-off valve on the Twin Turbo 535i? :)

you "can"... I've seen/heard of 335's with bov's on the street. imo it makes a classy car into a ricer. I have an STI and even then its frowned upon by the community to put a bov on there.

if you're gonna get one, make sure its adjusted correctly, or you'll be getting compressor surge.

you'll also be trading noise for more hesitation and lag between shifts.

agreed, leave the car alone. Unless you are making 600+hp and the boost is so huge that stock BOV will not be sufficient, then do it ... otherwise I think it is very tacky.

If you do go crazy and want to put one on, it is important that the BOV operates lightning fast and will not surge the turbo. Here's the link to look at:

Contact www.aatuning.com (http://www.aatuning.com) ... they make a BOV for the 335 which should be the same for the 535.
