Not related to the PCV heater, tried running the car with the PCV heater disconnected and still had smoke from the inner DISA.

For additional information, I installed brand new OEM DISA valves from FCP Euro at the time I installed the 3 stage manifold. It was at 55k miles. So I've been running that manifold with no issues for 3 years and 30k miles now.

N54 manifold time, I guess!

Oof! I was getting ready to swap in a 3 stage manifold before I ordered the ESS supercharger kit…now I’m wondering if it’s even worth while. Don’t need my baby catching on fire
Don't, marginal difference, and get the n54 one. Highest HP I got snd less parts to fail… they are also very cheap to buy in comparison!
