Same thing happened to me, except my inlet hose pushed off the intercooler with a small "pop" noise under boost, and stayed on enough to hold 1 or 2 psi of boost ad not give me a CEL.

The pierburg solenoids showed up today. Hopefully I'll get them on tomorrow and see what logs I get.
What brand provides a good reliable quality lpfp upgrade?
I'm seeing various options out there that all look decent. Don't know what I should get......
Possibly this one.

VS - 535i Stage 2 Fuel Pump LPFP Upgrade E60 E61
This fuel pump upgrade is the best bang for your buck when it comes to fueling solution. This pump utilized a genuine walbro 450-00274... highest flowing walbro 450 comparing to the competitors! Great for ethanol option for stage 2+ is great for 700whp, standard stage 2 is good for 600whp

I saw some things in the past that were shady from VS, so I personally would not use them.
You seem very handy. I would just buy two authentic 450's and put them in yourself.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah.....I saw the DIY for it. I'm lazy sometimes. But...it is much more cost effective.
Watched some DIY vids on that. Holy crap there's some real trailer trash ghetto stuff going on with some of them. Lol
Vehicular DIY guy though is solid. As always.
With both my kids in school now it shouldn't take me almost a year like getting my turbos in.
Anyone one got a stock 535i pump laying around they want to donate to me?

Wife looks over at me when I'm watching another pump diy video.......says....
Is that something for baby yoda?
Me.......yes.
Her....... what the hell is wrong with you?! It's fast enough already!!!
Me.....ethanol is cheaper than gas. I'm saving money.

Just keeping it real!
Why not just order up a 295 pump (535 flow no check valve), and eBay up a LPFP ... I'm lazy don't want to pull my pump and swap it, rather just buy cheap on ebay and do the bucket. Not like it is a lot of work. You are going to need to run bigger lines. Get a Fuelab E85 safe filter, high micron filtration, with a check valve ... put it inline, pull the HPFP mesh filter and away you go.
Vader ... Omar can be slow on delivery ... but I've not seen anything else negative.
Found a 295 pump for 140 bucks. Not to bad.
Changing out the fuel lines sounds like fun......ugh.
Not bad actually ... soft lines ... you just run them along hard lines, wire tie as you go.
Just wanted to shout out publicly that @carabuser is doing a great job getting the tune sorted out.
I would recommend his tuning service to anyone that needs a custom tune.
He doesn't just fiddle around and say done. He keeps fine tuning until it's perfect for your setup.
