I've been looking into putting ITB's on my 635CSI but everyone says I need to have a standalone ecu inorder to do that. Is there any way I can install it without? Is it possible to fab up a plenum around the ITB's and then have an intake tube with the sensor inbetween or am I just being a little slow and stupid. If it helps I could mock up a quick sketch of what it would look like. Just wondering as I havent seen anyone on either forum mention this or think of it but I do know its a thing in the honda community.

Many of the BMW engines have a similar setup to your drawing. If you do it well without causing turbulence across the air mass meter or changing the diameter of the AFM, then it should work fine.

The M635csi does this exactly. The only issue using the airflow meter is you are drawing all the air through a 2"x2" flap, and you would need to extend the wiring loom approx. 3 feet. I've changed to full standalone and the intake noise is much better without the air meter, so is the power.
