13 n18 bov adapter

Hi I just got the torque solutions bov adapter for my MCS r56 and it's not fitting right the holes are not lining up due to the waste gate actuator I haven't seen many threads on this for the 2013 n18 motor also was wondering if it would throw me a CEL or not please help I'm completely lost

How much boost are you running?,. The n18 dies not like atmospheric venting valves so unless you are highly tuned you're gonna throw CELs constantly,. IMO you should stick with stock diverter valve, unless you're running an aftermarket turbo.

Yeah, not true. I have the Torque Solutions BOV adapter palate installed to my 2012 Clubman S with N18 motor, and have no issues.

As for the waste gate interference, I just hit that corner with some sandpaper for clearance.
