Hi, where did you buy the silicone intake boot?

Probably Bimmerworld. It's an E46 M3 boot. The brake vacuum line is routed on the top of the CSL intake plenum. The stock intake requires a boot with the fitting for the vacuum line in it. Although you could also buy the E46 M3 vacuum line that mounts to the stock intake plenum in front of the boot.

That's some really good numbers with stock internals. I know the stepped headers add around 10-11 hp compared to the stock Euro one's, how much difference does the dry sump do? Do you have underdriven auxiliaries? No cams?
The setup in my E46 M3 made 319 whp on the dyno. OEM headers and exhaust (except the mufflers) but catless, "CSL" plenum with an open air filter and stand alone ECU (MAP instead of MAF).

Stock cams. I’ve heard the dry sump vacuum (10 in/hg) frees up about 10 hp on an S54. I didn’t verify. |

Gotcha, that adds up compared to mine when you add headers/dry sump/pulleys.

As you may know, Karbonius ended up making a carbon plenum similar to yours. However, a lot (all?) of the people who have installed it have found that the factory rubber elbow slips off the inlet to the plenum. Some people (including me) have wrapped the plenum inlet in tape to get a better grip, but this seems like a short-term solution at best. When you made yours, did you do anything special to stop this happening? |

Without seeing how Karbonius did theirs, it’s hard for me to say what they did wrong if your elbow piece won’t stay on. “If you want something done right, do it yourself”…😎 |

I'm not totally sure why the elbow slips off the Karbonius version. Perhaps the angle of the inlet isn't quite right? It was prototyped on an E46 which uses a different rubber elbow, so it could be something like that I suppose. In your experience with CF, would it be feasible to add a little raised lip on the outer edge of the inlet so that the hose clamp has something to hold against? Maybe you could use some kind of resin to build up the lip? Thanks for your advice - if I can't find a permanent solution I think I'll take the plenum off, which would be a shame. |

As far as I know, everyone is using the standard elbow, but that could be worth a try. Is part 4 on the diagram below the air shutoff valve I need? Is it a direct replacement (ie no other changes required)? https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BL92-EUR-12-2002-E46-BMW-M3&diagId=11_3019 Thanks again for your help! |

Using the OEM plastic elbow without the rubber band gasket would not work. Hard plastic and epoxy would not grip at all. |

The e46 M3 silicone elbow does not fit. I tried.
I have also given the solution on the other thread but people don’t read/listen. Use floor anti-slip tape, done! |

Pretty difficult…
They don’t make a Pro-shield fitted for the E86, so you need to buy a generic piece and form it to the glass windshield before installing on the Lexan (so keep your glass windshield in your shop for forming replacement film. Too much heat to do it on Lexan). They provide instructions on how to heat form the shield, but with the compound curvature of our windshield I could not get it to cover the entire windshield and settled for a 16” band that covers my viewing area. Basically covers from below the 11” banner to a couple of inches up from the bottom of the glass. The good news is one 36” x 60” will make two shields… |
