I need to find some people here in cincy that have a boost gauge running off of a vacuum line. I'm trying to gather some crankcase pressure/vacuum data on various states of tune for the N54. I have an oil cap with a barbed vacuum line fitting already installed. So, all we need to do is put it on your car, cap the line from your manifold and plug the vac line from the boost gauge into the oil cap.

My car:
.1-.3/4 psi positive pressure in the crankcase with the manifold under vaccum.
.1-.6 psi positive pressure in the crankcase with the manifold under boost.

I am running the rb pcv valve, a new valve cover and gasket, a new boost side pcv from BMW, and the vff900 single turbo kit.

I'm looking for a stock N54 and one with upgraded twins. Any additional data points are more than welcome. Could be a good exercise for anyone looking to see how their pcv system is working. BMW states the system should be running ~6in of vacuum.

Pm me or respond here if interested.
Thanks!!

I don't have a boost gauge running off a vacuum line, I use the JB4 app on my android, but I wouldn't mind checking out your single turbo. I'm trying to decide between it and RBs in the near future. Who did the install? I'm getting the VRSF 7in, fuel pump upgrade, RB PCV valve & hose installed and a walnut blast over at Turn In Concepts next week.

I did the install. You should have fun with the new mods. I go down to cars and coffee every now and then.

Have a lift in your garage? How long did it take you to install? Yea, looking forward to the mods and getting intake cleaned.. should run good with the BMS E85 flash and some more e85 C&C down by the river at Fuel? I keep meaning to get down there, maybe this weekend if weather is good...

No lift. Just jack stands. I ended up spending like 6 or 7 months on it. Lol. It's totally a weekendable job, but I kept ordering other parts and did a bunch of maintenance work, bought new tools as I ended up needing them, was super busy at work so only spent an evening or so a week on it, yada yada. Yeah, fuel cars and coffee. I doubt I'll have the car on the road this weekend, but we'll see.
