i would like to install air intake and bov in my r56. Is there any one who did install that? and does it work perfectly?

 

Search the archives; there's SEVERAL different intake available (depending on which turbocharged engine N14 vs. N18)...
And read more on BOVs and why they aren't necessarily desired on a "closed-loop boost" system.

For God's sake stay away from HKS parts for the MINI! Here is something I wrote a while ago...

Steer Clear of Vent to Atmosphere (VTA) Blow-off Valves (BOVs)
If you’ve got an R56 S, jusy say no to VTA BOVs. I had an HKS blow-off valve for almost a year and after a couple days on the track I knew it had to go. The trouble is that the engine’s ECU is already controlling a stock diverter valve on the turbo and adding another mechanical valve downstream only confuses the ECU. A check engine light will occur when the VTA BOV vents and the stock diverter valve is still closed. I believe the ECU has logic that checks both intake manifold pressure and the mass air flow and if there is a disagreement in this logic, a check engine light will populate. The real bonus is that the engine goes into a torque derate because it thinks there is a boost leak. So in “English,” the engine acts like there is no turbo!! My experience with the HKS SSQV was that when I would slightly lift the throttle at times, the blow-off valve would vent when it really didn’t have to, the stock diverter valve remained closed, the check engine light for a boost leak would populate, and then when it came time to go wide open throttle there was no torque! Lucky for me, I was able to sell the HKS SSQV kit on eBay to some ricer lover with very minimal financial loss.

Spend money on driving schools, better tires, suspension, and brakes. In that order too!
