hi there, i was wondering if anyone can help me figure out whats the problem on my 1996 318 Ti with 180k on it it runs and drives perfect , no smoke or rough idle but lately i discovered a yellow/green small dotes on my oil dipstick on the end (bottom) of it you can barely see it , i do travel short distance to work every day (5 miles each way ) i did change the ccv (oil separator ,or pvc valve ) last week , but the yellow green crap is still there . please help

Never use a DISA valve in a boosted motor. DASC removes it and just leave it plugged in to the DME and ZipTie it to something. Turbo: I ruined a head when the DISA fell apart and then pinned a valve open with the metal rod.

I've run my car with no boost and the DISA removed and it actually felt good. I think if you modify your tune or change things for more power you need to remove the DISA guts to be safe and also you will gain performance since you have made other changes to increase power so you need all 4 runners working to feed air to the motor

With the DASC on the M44 engines NickG at technique tuning has programming for your DME that removes the DISA DME error code with his higher stage upgrades. For years before i upgraded i just did like others do and zip tied it down there somewhere.
