They are not a fan of a group buy but the price is $1899.99 without the meth bungs.
That's retarded. The intake pipe is $101.25, a TiAL QRJ is $216.05, and about ten dollars of stainless tubing is needed to connect the two. Add about a hundred dollars for shop labor. Make it $200 if the guy is doing it beautifully.

Exactly. 2 K is insane! Race Port BOV with SS flange is about $300. Spent about $50 bucks on odds and ends. ( Silicone Vacuum line, barbs, bungs, clamps, sealant). I am sure any competent Fab/welding shop can TIG up the flange for at most $100. You end up with a better BOV and solution for 1/4 the price.

but with your setup you need the boost/vaccum line correct? this is my first turbo car so bear with me
All BOV/ASV require connection to a boost/vacuum source. It's required to provide pressure to the diaphragm/ piston under boost, and transition to vacuum to initiate the vent. The weistec kit will need to get vacuum from somewhere to work. A spacer on the map sensor is their likely choice.
How hard are these to install? Looks a pain swapping over the pipe work
The RENNtech kit only requires the left (driver's side) pipe to be removed. It took about an hour the first time I did it, but I can now do it in about 20 minutes.

What he said. Remove covers, and airbox. Undo the oil lines, remove Intake pipe to turbo, then remove charge pipe. 20 mins tops.

Interesting. What would it cost for you to make and sell to us? And when you drill the manifold, how do you ensure no plastic scrap gets into the intake manifold when drilling?

Captree is early summer then it moves to obi during summer months, OBI was a club years ago on ocean parkway it’s a few miles west of Captree on ocean parkway , it’s much better at Captree the lot is much bigger , sometimes I get there by 7am and there’s no spots left to park there’s a lot of cars, Now I’m not sure if it moved yet I will call somebody and find out where it is now I haven’t been there in a month , I would like to meet that’s great
I found out the morning car shows moved back to Captree ,I’m going to meet a few friends there maybe I will see you guys there. It’s the end of the month I’m sure the cops will be there checking for front plates .
RENNtech's 3rd Generation Diverter Valve for the M157 5.5L V8 BiTurbo features an all-new Blow-Off Valve implemented into the re-designed OEM turbo tubes.
The Diverter Valve releases the boost in high-boost situation and/or boost spikes. This especially helps during the shifting process, for faster shifting and a quicker boost response for the next gear. It helps to eliminated the so called 'Boost Lag'.
With the installation of the RENNtech Diverter Valve, we are able to supply the engine with more boost pressure in order to gain higher HP numbers.
Please see the RENNtech R1 Package for the M157 engine for the perfect combination of the RENNtech ECU Upgrade and Diverter Valve.
The turbo tubes are ceramic coated in titanium to sustain high temperature and provide a more aesthetic look in the engine bay.
Notes:
This Diverter Valve Upgrade requires an additional core charge, which will be credited upon return of OEM pipes to RENNtech
Fitment:
W/S 212 - E 63 AMG Wagon and Sedan 4MATIC
C 218 - CLS 63 AMG Coupe and Shooting Brake 4MATIC
Also available for all other vehicles equipped with the M157 5.5L V8 BiTurbo Engine. Please see related produtcs.
Anyone have diy step by step install on the Renntech Diverter Valve?
what are these 2 pipes that are in the way of the diverter pipe?
would fluids spill out if they are disconnected?
I have the gen 3 installed on my car. I have had it on there for two years with zero issues. The kit came with instructions and it took me about four hours to install. Hardest part was getting the pipe back on over the turbo. This was a quick video i made with my cell phone so the sound isnt that great but you can hear it venting.

Those are the oil cooler lines.. Some oil will spill out if removed, and you will have to replace the 1 O-ring in each line when you re-attached those 2 lines.
I would contact Renntech to get their set by step instructions that comes with the kit.

EDIT- link added
I have watched this video a number of times before i decided i needed one and loved the sound. After hearing a friends of mine in person, i knew it had to have it.
What did you conclude to get the pipe over the rubber on the turbo side?
I watched some other turbo videos and I ended up using petroleum jelly and a lot of it. I also saw it one of Tasks Maschatos videos. Also I didn't remove any of the oil lines to install it.
