N18 and WMW Performance BOV

Back in November I bought the WMW Performance Blow off Valve and because of Minnesota winters have not gotten around to installing it yet. I am now noticing they do not recommend it for the N18 (don't recall it saying this back in Nov). I am wondering will I have problems when I install it or should I just return it and get the N18 Forge Recirc Valve?

GFB has their N18 diverter valve coming out in mid March. Far superior design over the WMW valve as the GFB is billet aluminum and 1/2 the price of the Forge's offering. We should be carrying them later this month. We carry the N14 version and sold off our stock on it.

The GFB website doesn't show the N18 version available yet. Any further word as to when it will be available?

When it does become available will i have any warranty issues if i install it?

Thank you!

I was told by GFB AU that they are working on finalizing documents and images for the N18 version, but I was assured that they were shipped to the main US wholesaler recently. With that in mind, we should be able to receive our units not too long from there.

We are also waiting on final pricing to be released, so we'll let you know when that's ready as well.

Cheers,
Battle

The WMW Performance Blow off Valve is the same that Mini introduced with the N18 engine. Way found that out on my engine at MotD a couple of years ago when the N18 was new. Ask Way to refund your money.
