RIP no sounds clips... That must sounds good. Thanks for the quality install video.
The OEM bolts are T30, and that obstructed bolt can be removed with a long shank T27. After assembling the new GFB+unit, hold it in place with some painters tape over the top to the turbo flange. Slide the solenoid with new spring and piston in from below, then tilting it forward to GFB. Once the solenoid ears get past the block, place a new bolt thru the solenoid ear on the top right. I held the solenoid with my left hand while using a pickup magnet to hold the bolt while I slid it thru that ear. You have to do that before moving the solenoid up and onto the GFB+. It's the only way to get that back bolt into place.
If i did this job again, once the valve was removed, I'd Dremel the block flange that obscures that back bolt to open a channel for the long shank bits
Just ordered a gfb dv+ from you guys I can't wait til it gets here and I get to install it
Awesome Instructions. Took me about 4 hrs to do, taking my time. Thanks big time for your video!
Loves your videos! Could you do a video on n20 intake valve cleaning w/CRC cleaner? I bet many ppl w/n20 engine would love to see it.
Brian you need to open up a shop here in San Diego California!!! Your so awesome sharing your automotive knowledge on bmw’s . Thanks again for another wonderful and awesome video 👍👍👍
Thanks for your support! We do it because of you and all who support us!
Uh I wish this video was out when I did mine... never thought to take the inlet valve out. Good stuff
Just installed a diverter valve on f32 the screws are T30 not 4am hex makes a big difference getting that top back screw out
just ordered mine through you guys installing nowwww
Awesome! Been waiting for this video.
Since I just purchased one off ur site!
Glad we could help!
Beware this is not as straight forward as you might think. Make sure you have the ball end bits and basically everything in the tools you might need in the link he attached. Get ready for your patience to be tested but take an hour, grab a beer, and then get back to it. Have fun!!!
Also be care with the intake inlet, the plastic is fragile especially the bolt hole that connects the inlet to the turbo.
Spot on.!
I broke mine to, and the clips on the other line... had to put an extra 125 into it after the install.
lol so true
The diverted valve has t30 but you can use a 4mm hex it worked for me
Those long hex ball 4mm tool stripped my torx bolts.. its a hit or miss. Its best to find one thats of good quality and is sharp on the edges in order to actually bite the bolt as you turn it. It doesnt matter if you strip the original bolts because the GFB kit comes with new Allan bolts. But still its something to consider when trying to remove these
Brian, great video! Has anyone made an upgraded diverter valve for the G20 M340i, specifically? Thanks!
Thanks again Bryan!
Of course! Thanks for your support!
You guys should do a video on the n20/n26 timing chain!
We'll look into it! Thanks!
2016 328i F30 N26 here and the bolts on the stock diverter valve are actually TORX T30 not hex bolts. The gfb provided bolts are hex 5mm FYI
I've been researching this along with a atmospheric blow off style diverter. I'm curious if the atmospheric one will cause a service light on a n26 ?
Followed this vid, My install went super easy!! Thank you for making this true life saver!!
I’m about to install this as well.
Is it really as easy as you say? The shop near me is charging 1.2k just too install it
@@TfromDaygo it ain’t. I already spent 2 days installing it. The t30 bolt on the top right (closest to the motor) is hard. The long ball just won’t grip on to take it off.
Any tips? I’ve been stuck on this bolt for 2 days
The OEM bolts are T30, and that obstructed bolt can be removed with a long shank T27. After assembling the new GFB+unit, hold it in place with some painters tape over the top to the turbo flange. Slide the solenoid with new spring and piston in from below, then tilting it forward to GFB. Once the solenoid ears get past the block, place a new bolt thru the solenoid ear on the top right.

It's the only way to get that back bolt into place.
Hi Brian. Is there any sound clip from this install? Would love to hear it from a fellow n20 engine too here. Thanks.
Bought this and was wondering how you took the piston off the DV. I cant take it off, really hard.
Yessss
New n20s 2016 up I think don’t flutter with this mod , you just get faster throttle response. No sounds
Just installed on a F20 N20 125i with an MST intake, charge pipes, vrsf stepped intercooler, custom 3" turbo back exhaust and bm3 stage 2. It definitely flutters, but not as much as the owner of this car shows on his channel and it also seems 'delayed'. Will be doing the MST inlet elbow as well but I doubt it would help with flutter. Tried loading it when stationary, high boost low rpm, etc. Nothing seems to work.
Hey brian I can’t quite see why u didn’t put both pieces back in together at the same time, it looks like u got the room
I have a 2014 320i and I'm really thinking about getting BM3 stage 1. My car is a manual 6 speed and haven't seen any vids or reviews on a six speed. Just a bit skeptical but I'm wondering if it will perform like a 328i. Lmk if you think it will be safe on a six speed. Thanks bro!!
Hey bro, I can’t see the link of you video, how to remote the inlet intake
I got no flutter 2016 n20 full bolt on stage 1 93 went back to stock intake but drop in H&R
What do you think about the CTS TURBO BOV FOR N20 bmw mottors?
Will this upgrade work on an earlier F30 with pneumatic diverter valve instead of solenoid?
What is the difference between the diverter and blow off valve?
I installed this with the ball joint alen key and the alen key got stuck between the OEM diverter valve and the block, tried to pry it out ended up hitting one of my coolant hoses and now coolant is leaking. Don't try unless mechanical inclined
I can’t get the longest bolt back in on the side of the motor it just won’t fit, I’m wondering if it’s because I drive an automatic and not a manual
Same left mine without it how bout u?
@@yamikami2512 just installed mine and I didn't put the third bolt either, has it worked out for you
I ended up breaking a coolant line trying to get that one in.... now off to the mechanic it goes to fix that....
Is it possible to do this from underneath the car if you had it on ramps or a lift? As always, your videos are excellent. Thank you for doing them!
Yes, it is possible but we found this way works best and saves the most time, especially because you still have to take the waste gate off to reach the diverter valve!
N20 f10, nu luck screwing top right bolt, now I'm driving with diverter on 2 bolts)
So Is this the same as the blow off valve??
Hello, could you help please, we installed DV+ on n20 with spring, we don’t hear any noise like whooosh, is it normal? or we did something wrong? Thanks in advance for answer
I have the same issue, installed dv+ with their spring and injen intake and no sound, although im unsure if the reason i cant hear it is because of how loud my exhaust is
Has to be in Eco mode not sport
Would you do DV+ on N55 pretty please? 😁
We actually did an N55 diverter valve install tutorial when we did my Pure turbo upgrade but we are working on a dedicated video for it soon!
@@KiesMotorsports When you do that video, please do some before and afters of the throttle response. I'm FBO right now and the DV and Stage 2 LPFP are my next two mods! Keep rocking!
Please help me guys, i put its still doing same noise from the stock valve, my mechanic did something wrong?
Do more n55
Hey Brian, I have a question for you.
I just recently as of today installed a GFB diverter valve on to my 535i n55 and I'm getting fluttering sounds as if there's turbo surge going on. I also have a code "122108 BOV seized closed". I was reading on the internet somewhere that the code "122108 BOV seized closed" -- ignore, tuner code due to the piston of the GFB DV snapping shut really quickly " progressively closing" that's producing the fluttering. I need alittle help with this, wasnt sure if you have heard anything like this or about this issue?
Hi. I think I'm getting the same thing. Are you gettingy it during wot or once releasing throttle? I'm getting it during on low rpm, which is worrying me.
RIP. I install the Intake. I have to uninstall to install the inlet. I install the inlet, I now have to uninstall to install the diverter. What a mess lol. I love these videos they are like gold but but I wish I knew which order to assemble!
Sweet i want to install this on my x3 with the n20. What does it do? Is it safe for my engine? And will it have sounds with a stock intake?
Dont know if youve jnstalled it yet but to answer your question it is good for holding boost better and it is way quieter than stock in most driving and since you have a stock intake it might be completely silent at times which can vary your opinion on it greatly.
I did install it week ago on my N20 I can’t hear the pushhrrrraa at all lol only when my hood is up
👍🏼
You Need a open Intake to hear the Sound
can someone explain me what is diverter valve ?, like what that thing do to the car
How long should the extension be?
If I install this Diverter valve will it trigger an ECU code?
Will I throw any codes installing this on my 15 320Xi N20? Dinan Stage 1, K&N filter and AWE exhaust (midpipe and catback). With the extra boost from the Stage 1 tune I just want to do some preventative maintenance on the DV so it doesn't lose pressure over time.
If you install it without the large spring you're good. If you do install the large spring for the "sport" feel it will send a drivetrain code and derate the engine. If you keep your rpms high, this can be avoided. Something to do with back pressure on the turbo.
How much power is he making with that set up?
What size are the bolts on the diverter valve?
Why are his upper headlamp access ports red?
Thanks for sharing. I bought and installed this go fast bits diverter on my 328i n20. Unfortunately I do not hear the turbo fluttering as expected. Only a higher pitched spool. Any idea the reason? I have stage1 and big sport intake besides. Thanks.
I just relocated the gfb dv+ and It sounds amazing now. Really nice fluttering! 10/10
Hey man, I bought those smoked led sidemarkers from yall through Justins link and my left side keeps falling out. The right one is fine. Any chance yall can replace the left side marker?
I know yall are probably busy with the Kies auto Show today so ill try to get in touch monday.... Have a fun day!
Shoot us an email and we can look into it!
@@KiesMotorsports hey thanx Brian. I just sent you guys an email with a foward from where i purchased them explaining whats going on. Thanks for the response!
Anyone else have the issue where their go fast bits dv didn’t sit flush into the bmw diverter housing. Mine wouldn’t sit flush at all i gotta repull it off and then dremel out some space for the spacer to sit in better
This is totally not that simple on the F36 Grand Coupe as there is basically a wall stopping you from tightening that back screw it was a nightmare lol. nonetheless the tools you put on amazon was awesome andthe video helped a bit.
I have the same vehicle. Can't get the top right screw out on the diverter valve. Even with the long ball joint bits. It just spins inside and won't grab. Had to put it all back together. Thinking of calling a mobile mechanic to see if he could get it out fot me and install the valve.
Idk what kind of witchcraft you did to get that top screw. Took me a 2 days and it’s not even screwed on tight lol
U talking bout that top right one right I couldn't get it at all left mine with only 2 bolts seemed tight enough but bothers me every time I think about it... We're u able to get it?
@@yamikami2512 I did the same😕
Dammit. Mine doesn't work for some reason... Maybe I did a tiny bit too much oil on that gold cylinder... What do I do? Anybody?
the phone peek trick, all the damn time!
Does this fit the b48 320??👏👏✌️
Has anyone pulled this off without removing the turbo on an LCI 320i ? The bolts are changed to T30 hex.
hello i rimove the sensor and the sound os tu tu tu ahhaha.. any problem if i remove the sensor? brake thw turbo or engine?
Wish it was that easy on the n55
Me too 😂
How in the heck do you get the screws out? I bought the ball joint Neiko hex sockets that you recommended, but the 4mm just doesn’t grip well enough. I’m afraid to strip them. Did the hidden one first with a ratchet extension like you suggested... at least I thought I loosened it up. Moved on to the two top bolts before finishing that one, only to find that the ball joint hex doesn’t really grip well and actually spins in the head of the screw. Now I’m worried that the bottom screw was just spinning in the head since we obviously can’t see it. Used the recommended tools. What gives? Any suggestions?
Not sure if you ever figured it out. I just did mine and the screws ended up being T30, not the 4mm. My big problem is getting the top right screw back in. There isn’t enough room to get it in the hole.
Are these bad for your turbo ??
Any benefit in upgrading this, also a 2012 528i upgrading the charge pipe and intercooler and installing a BOV and getting performance coils has anyone done this.
Idk if you found your answer elsewhere....but the factory one if I recall is plastic and prone to cracking over time. The gfb DV+ also has a better spring, as said in the vid, to help maintain better boost. Your doin it right so far for sure upgrading those parts. I would say the best “performance” mods are the turbo inlet, both sides charge pipes, diverter valve, and oil filter housing cap. Each has their own “failure” over time whether it’s cracking because it’s plastic or like the turbo inlet; prone to collapsing because it’s cheap rubber. Hope this helps😊
@@joshbeveridge9153 I actually don't know if you know this but I have one of these on my current n55 535i xDrive and it's producing a fluttering sound.. also known as turbo flutter or turbo surge.. you might as well throw a fistful of sand in your intake pipe as the car is revving up to 7000 RPM. I'm hopefully going to get this issue resolved tomorrow when I pull the whole unit off again but my original diaphragm was eating to shit had 1 massive hole in it. Either way I just may end up removing the mass of spring behind the Piston because apparently the valve still works without it
@@durhamregionseedbank2710 the flutter sound is normal, that’s what this valve gives you “stututututu”
does anyone know what pipe he took out with the two clips on the side is called. I think i might have broken it
1:19
Will this trigger overboost code?
What is your opinion of the 320i xdrive?
It's a great BMW!
I’ve bought so many tools and I still can’t manage to screw in the third screw(8:27) between the engine block and diverter valve....can anyone help
It won't go on our model... I've tried everything as well.
I have a 2016 328i f30 won't go in at alll left it without it
Ended up just wiggling and shoving mine in. Used a flat head to screw it all the way in. Will be getting a ball end hex and grinding it down even thinner to get it tight
Hi. Where i can buy gfb dv+ for n20/26?

Can I put one on my N55?
Yes! Here is the link to the Go Fast Bits DV for the N55! We're working on making a dedicated tutorial for it soon but you can check out our Pure turbo upgrade video where we explain how to do it on the N55!

Me and 2 buddys spent 5 hours trying to get this in and still failed. Not an easy task
I guess this is why the shop near me is charging over 10x the price of the product for the service lol
where is the valve on a 2018 f30?
Can anyone guarantee that this worked on the n26 motor?
I just installed one on my n26 I did get better throttle response but no flutter sound
Why you put oil on the cilinder i dont see others do that
Didn't either, instructions also didn't say that. He also made the installation harder for himself by taking it apart again and installing it with the entire thing loose, i installed it in 5 mins lol.
@@Supremepikachu The instructions they give you does say to apply oil to the piston. Its above the exploded image of the installation
Time to upgrade ur front bumper buddy
I thought this guy was the Ram's head coach.
😂
that intake bent an impeller on my N20 :/ anyone wanna buy mine lol?
