What is the main difference between this VTA valve and a recirculating diverter valve?

A Vent To Atmosphere (VTA) valve, like this one, releases the excess turbo pressure into the air, creating the characteristic blow-off sound. A recirculating diverter valve sends that air back into the intake system, which is quieter.

Will this valve work with my stock Focus RS computer and boost control?

Yes, this VTA valve is designed to retain your car's factory solenoid and ECU control. This ensures it integrates properly with your vehicle's existing systems for reliable operation.

Are there any restrictions on where this valve can be shipped?

This valve is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations.

Product Details

If you're looking to get that signature turbo blow-off sound from your 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS, this VTA (Vent To Atmosphere) valve from Go Fast Bits is a solid option. It replaces the weak factory diverter valve internals with a stronger design, which is crucial for holding boost reliably, especially when you're running higher pressures. This setup is designed to work with your car's factory solenoid and ECU control, so you don't lose that integrated system feel.

Beyond just the sound, this valve is built with GFB's TMS Technology, which helps with faster boost recovery when you shift gears. This means the turbo spools up quicker between shifts, leading to better throttle response. The improved boost holding ability ensures that pressure stays where it should when you're on the throttle, contributing to more consistent performance.

Keep in mind that this valve is designed specifically for the Focus RS and vents all the bypass air to the atmosphere, creating that distinct turbo flutter sound. It's not CARB approved, so it cannot be shipped to California.
