Turbosmart’s new Kompact VR09 Dual Port for the 1.0-litre EcoBoost is a billet aluminium replacement for the Fiesta & Focus factory plastic BOV.
The Dual Port is a 50-50 recirculation/vent-to-atmosphere valve for that classic vent-to-atmosphere BOV sound at high boost, and quiet operation at low boost.
The standard bypass valve on the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engines is a weak, plastic, diaphragm-type valve – a type of valve that has a track record of failures. Turbosmart’s billet aluminium replacement is manufactured with precision, designed for unlimited boost holding capability, excellent response times and heavy-duty reliability.
The Fiesta’s standard valve is controlled by a solenoid, meaning the ECU can decide when to open the valve – meaning it can be used to bleed boost, limiting performance. The Turbosmart VR09 Kit bypasses this solenoid, allowing the BOV/BPV to operate with manifold vacuum, putting control back in the hands of the driver, all with no check engine lights.
Installation is straightforward, and the valve is a bolt-on direct replacement for the factory valve. No special tools are required and all necessary hardware is included.
The Kompact VR09 is precision machined, hand-assembled and individually quality tested in Australia to the highest quality standards.
