Reinstalling Diverter Valves

jdmendo01 · 11-28-2018, 05:47 PM

Hey everyone, I have to take off my blow off valve for my state ref appointment, I wanted to know if anyone knows how to reinstall the diverter valves or if I have to reinstall anything else in order to do this. Thanks.

I'm slightly confused by the "current state" of things. The diverter valves are located under the air filter housing, one in each turbo inlet pipe. They sort of snap into the pipe, with a little gray plastic collar that I believe twists (can't remember fully, it's been a while since mine were stock). Also, there's a vacuum line that goes to the top of each diverter valve that actuates them. Not sure if this is still connected or where it is, if not.

The little gray plastic collar on the DV's are like 1/4 turn to lock/unlock.

I don't know if it helps, but it's an active autowerks BOV, https://store.activeautowerke.com/pr...i-335i-bov-kit, heres a link to the page and there is an installing manual, but I didn't put it on myself so I'm just trying to make sure I don't fuck up anything and I'm just trying to get a gauge of what I need to do to return it to stock.

Do you still have the stock Charge Pipe?

You will need this if you want to install the factory diverter valves
