from what I understand (dont have my car yet so cant confirm) there is a diverter valve thats mounted on the n55 twinpower turbo.
The after market solution will run a remote line to a BOV that you mount remotely. im also interested in learning more about this. |

Correction: Valvetronic refers to BMW's variable valve control. A diverter valve and a blow off valve is the exact same thing. Some are made to vent to atmosphere (which is doubtful) and others are set to recirculation (most likely our case)

I believe the ones that recirculate are called Diverter valves. I had a plastic one on my 1.8T A4 B6. I'm thinking of changing the one on my 2 to something with more noise like a Blow off valve, which is the one that releases into the atmosphere.

All of them are essentially the same attempting. Recirculation and venting to atmosphere are settings. Factory cars have adopted the term diverter valve for the unit while the aftermarket almost always called them Blow off valves. Either way, they are the same and have the same purpose. I don't mean to harp on this too much, but I have been asked this question to the point of me having to pull out a factory "diverter valve" and a "blow off valve" to prove to a friend that they were literally the exact same.
