Who has a BOV with DCT ?

Thinking of getting the Turbosmart Dual BOV for my 35i DCT

http://www.turbosmartdirect.com/Prod...t-KIT-BMW.html

I was wondering if anyone else with DCT has a vent to atmosphere BOV ?

Can you actually hear the sound between gearchanges ?

I'm thinking day to day unless your using the flappy paddles your not going to hear this , am I correct ?

Also any comments on the turbosmart kit ?

I ran this kit when I had my Z4 and it is well made and a fantastic BOV. However, it is used with the stock CP, which is not a good idea if you are running high boost. I switched to a Stett CP with a Turbosmart Raceport BOV and loved it. If you plan to keep your stock CP then this kit is what I would buy.

thanks for your comments , yes this is used with stock CP , was hoping to get away with using the stock pipe if and when it blows I'll replace

Unfortunately CP and BOV's are expensive when shipped to the UK with customs charges

I don't think there are any Uk stockists of charge pipes for the Z4

Any comments on how the sound was with the turbosmart units ? assume you have dct ?

I have HKS bov on stock CP... You can hear it when you let of the pedal... Not when you change gear at WOT....

A funny thing is that you hear the bovs when downshifting when car is in "sport+" mode
