Well it depends on your dealer regarding warranty, some are ok, some are not but bottom line it's an engine mod and an excuse for BMW to try wriggle out of turbo or ignition related claims.
A blow off valve is for noise, the good old turbo motor Tsssshhhh sound however, even though they vent to atmosphere they can still be better at holding shut during high boost experienced during WOT. A diverter valve is essentially the same but it recirculates charge air back into the intake and has no port to vent it externally, it is almost silent unless fitted with a DCI, you can then hear the charge air dump back into the turbo inlet. The OE valves are plastic diverter valves, upgrade to Forge for example for more robust metal ones which will hold your boost for longer in the rev range but that said, the OE ones are ok until age gets 'em. |

The engine diverts the air back into the intake system because that air has already been metered and if it is not put back into the intake system, the engine will run slightly rich in the moments following the throttle close. Its not really a big deal but it is slightly less efficient. There are blow off valve kits offered as well as upgraded diverter valve kits. Both do the same thing, just one is slightly more efficient while the other makes a novel noise. |
