Turbosmart 15-21 Volkswagen GTI/Golf R MK7 Kompact EM Plumb Back VR1 Diverter Valve

Turbosmart is known for making solid performance parts for turbocharged cars, and their Kompact EM series is a great example. This specific valve, the Kompact EM Plumb Back VR1, is designed to work with a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi models that use TSI and TFSI engines, like the popular MK7 GTI and Golf R. It's a direct replacement for your factory electronic diverter valve, meaning you don't need extra adapters or hoses to install it.

What makes this valve stand out is its plug-and-play design. You simply unbolt the stock unit and bolt this one in its place, keeping the factory electronic control. This setup helps reduce boost leaks, allowing your turbo to reach its target pressure more quickly and efficiently. This improved response is especially beneficial if you've upgraded to a larger turbo or are looking to get the most out of your current setup without stressing the turbocharger. The plumb back design vents the recirculated air back into the intake system.

This diverter valve is a well-built component that can help improve your turbocharger's performance. It's a popular choice for owners looking for a straightforward upgrade that offers a noticeable difference in how the turbo spools and holds boost.
