HPF 135i/335i BOV Kit - Sneak Peak

[Black Sheep]

Synapse and HKS are the same Flange I believe

[BMW86]

I just listened to a couple sound clips and the Synapse does sound pretty good. I hope this kit comes out by December. I'm really excited about this product.

Dave/HPF: Of course that is available at anytime. We just placed another order for 50 more intercoolers and we only have 14 left currently so they will have to act fas

Won't there be a slight turbo lag for the pressure to built up again?

Dave/HPF: The pipe volume increase is not enough to lose pressure lost. As for the intercoolers volume we do not see a big enough pressure drop to make any loss in power. On a stock car the car makes great power but when adding a tune or more boost to the vehicle this intercooler and BOV kit has free range for pressure build up and flow

Mineo77 - you're a champ. I hope they're paying you for this, or at least hooking you up with free parts

I'm ready to commit myself to buying the HPF FMIC if it has the upgraded silicone connection which attaches to the upgraded HPF intercooler piping/charge pipe which will come out later. Can you confirm that this new connection will work with my factory piping in the meantime? I understand there is a change in diameter. This is only a temporary solution until I can purchase the rest of the kit. Let them know I'm in Australia so I'm not in a position to have them send back the FMIC to have the new silicone connection welded on if that's what they're thinking.

Sorry if I'm repeating myself, I just need to be sure. Otherwise if we're only a few week away I'm content to wait it out.

Oh i am sure the air flow is not restricted. But my actual question was more at the fact that the VTA Blow off now replaced the OEM's recirculating unit. When VTA, the boost is VTA, thus the pipe losses.

Dates? Is this still coming out in December?

Sorry. It's been designed for quite awhile but we just have too many other projects to finish this one. The first production HPF 335i exhaust will be coming out in the middle of December. The BOV kit will most likely be spring time. Sorry...

Chris.

I was hoping to get it by this Christmas. I will probably have to go a different route then. Maybe later if I can sell whatever I decide go with I will check back into it.

I'm disappointed with the answer but I appreciate your honesty.

If you start a group buy to see how much interest is out there will it speed things up? I think you could get 10-20 signed up and ready to pay.

By the way, when does Spring start over there?

so what does this mean for the 135i exhaust?

it means as soon as the 335i exhaust is fabricated, i will be over at HPF for test fitting and adjustments for the 135i version.

I will keep you posted.
