DIY: Comprehensive CSL Intake Thread

casper3t · Thu, Feb-05-2015, 09:12:38 PM

For the install, what do you do about the aux heater pump? just take it off the mount and turn it to it side?

You know how there are 3 grommets that slide into some slots?

Well, I slid one of the top grommets into the bottom slot. So it's relatively secure and out of the way.

Alternatively you can retrofit the water valve without the aux pump, as used on the CSL and non-Ms

Very useful thread!
What about bimmerworld csl intake! Any idea why this one not on the list?

Adam, you need to add links to the the DIY threads on the first post. I had a hard time finding them yesterday.

Out of curiosity, do you need to mess with the harness and do the CSL air rail and all that if you arent running the snorkle?

Are you able to just buy, say an evolve box, install, do the alpha-N tune and be hunky dory or is all the complicated stuff a necessary part of the process?

The air rail helps keep things working. Some people have had issues with out it.

This is crazy! When I bought mine I had no idea that they were going to be one of the last sets that anyone saw for awhile. I think the production date on them was like 2004 or something like that... Dinan must have had them sitting on the shelf for a LOONNNGG time!

I know man, there is a world-wide shortage. Talk about poor planning. Of course I think my thread might have gained popularity for the cams too.

Maybe I should have sourced my own instead of trying to get a GB going for every one.

Oh well... They are supposed to be about 5-6 weeks out, but we will see.

Ok cool. But no need for getting a CSL dme or anything unless you plan on using the flap right?

DME CSL flash will just give you the best "starting" software for tuning. It is just a flash in most cases.
