There is a yellow 318 coupe widebody in the 2/2006 edition of Performance BMW. It has a DASC installed (claims 236bhp and 178lb/ft). I know we've been over the whole "you can't put a BOV on a DASC", but look at the pics: Directly above the bypass valve, it looks like they mounted a BOV.    It looks suprisingly similar to an HKS Super Sequential BOV:  I'll paypal $10 to the first person that can find out how they did it. BTW...The DASC was installed by Azevedo Motorsports. __________________

I get why you need a BOV in a turbo (backpressure between shifts slows down the turbine) but why in a supercharger? __________________

It's funny how people exaggerate figures; 236hp at the wheels. So I guess his car has 295hp at the flywheel!? Downing Altlanta would probably want to contact him and hire him for R&D and then raise the price of their kit!?  Cheers, __________________

If the BOV vents to atmosphere (it looks like it does), the car would die everytime it opens. The MAF already accounted for that air, and now it's gone! I can't see the intake tract, but I'm sure he's got the factory MAF in place. WTF????
Does anyone know the guys at Azevedo Motorsports?? __________________

maybe they moved the position of the MAS. That's the only way I see that working | | | | | 02-15-2006, 02:57 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Great White North! Posts: 701 |
