Looking for BMS intake (W204 C250)
hey Guys,
Because im located in California, I cant buy the BMS intake off their website being that sales are prohibited to CA residents. IS there anyone who know of any third party retailers or possibly anyone in forum that is selling their intake?

very easy, BMS is an open filter, the heat from the engine is getting pulled straight into the filter. Its not a close box with an inlet of cold air. No way for it not to heat soak

Look at all of the big HP turbo cars in the modified scene. They all run open pod filters because:
a) air passing through a turbo heats right up anyway
b) the FMIC cools after the above has occurred
c) given the above 2, it is far more important to reduce restriction on the intake side of the filter than worry about how cool the air going in is

We run forced induction through an FMIC. Heat soak is a non-issue. This becomes even more the case if you throw on a turbo blanket and a header blanket.

I think valid points both ways. I will be getting turbo and manifold blankets for mine, as well as the BMS intake (or one of my own devising).
When I have everything together, I'll see about getting on a dyno and swapping bits on and off.

Btw, I was thinking about your intake idea. Consider keeping the oem box as is minus the filter, keeps the cooling of the ecu function intact but then cut the intake pipe where it meets the intake box and install this as your filter.
