The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

Converting your stock diverter valves to the ECS blow off valve helps your engine hold a more constant boost level while preventing unwanted pressure bleed off. This helps maintain a linear power curve throughout the RPM range and smoother power all across the RPM band. A BOV system will also aid in the longevity of your already problematic turbos by releasing the unused boost pressure creating a more aggressive sounding whoosh! The Blow off valve also gives it a high powered sound when the pressure is released.

When it come to internal engine work, whether it's all the way down to the head and block or the maintenance of a valve cover this set is a must.

BMW's Valvetronic variable valve lift mechanism actually replaces conventional throttle-body controlled power delivery. An electronically-actuated eccentric shaft varies the intake valve lift height when you press down on the accelerator pedal, regulating power.

Poor fuel economy, engine power loss, and starting difficulty are just a few of the symptoms of a failing ES sensor. ECS offers OEM BMW and VDO Eccentric Shaft Sensors, as well as a service kit including a valve cover & ES sensor gasket.
