Performance Boutique N54 Billet Valve Cover

Hey Everyone,
We sincerely apologize for the lack up updates. Its been a super busy summer here with the expansion into the new shop. We have finalized the drawings for the valve cover and we are getting ready to cut the first one. There were a few issues with the initial design which we wanted to address to make sure that you get the absolute best product from us. Anyways, less talking and more pictures...
All of the stock mounting locations are still there, so for anyone running upgraded coils, you will still be able to mount them as you would on the original valve cover.
We still have to add the oil cap as well as the -AN fittings for the PCV on this revision of the cover, but this will be done this week before we start cutting it. A price list will be up soon. We will likely be offering a couple of different packages to suit as many people as possible.

Awesome to see this finally coming to fruition! Curious if there will be clearance issues for those of us using larger coil packs? I.E. Precision/Bimmerlife
One sample does not mean a product is coming to fruition. They claimed to have the CAD drawings finished, and showed a block of aluminum in August. So it took 4 months to put it on the Mill, and start the first process? Ummmm
Don't worry we have plenty of options for those running our coils in any configuration needed. That said it would be cool to see the coils bolt directly to the valve cover and we would be glad to help with design information if needed.
Tony cmon man it doesn't take much to encourage others a little positivity makes you feel better too... give it a try you will be glad you did
Awesome! I'm defiantly on board and would love to match this with my FF Mani

I am just being real man. You do CNC work. If you had finished drawings AND the material 4 months ago. Is a picture of one process run in 4 months really a healthy indicator that this product is approaching production stages? While people may think I am bah humbug, I just prefer to keep things real. That picture does not convince me this thing is any closer to production than it was before.
They could have been swamped with production work? Current production always trumps development.
We are super excited to bring you more teaser pics as I know the wait has been long. Thank you to everyone who has been patient, as these last few months have been super busy with the move and set up on the new shop. Anyways, here is where the Billet Valve cover is at. Tomorrow we will have a finished version ready to start testing. I will be posting pricing over the holidays. There will be a couple of different packages available. If there is enough interest, I can get them anodized as well.
We kept all original mounting points for coils as well as the wiring harness, so there shouldn't be any fitment issues.
What does the rear side look like? Very interested in what you did for pcv/ crankcase ventilation options.
More teaser pictures... The oil cap is Billet as well. We will also add large -AN fittings to accommodate PCV/Breather lines.
