Turbosmart BOV Kompact EM Dual Port - BMW N20/N26 (VR23)

This Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port blow-off valve is what you get in the box. It's designed specifically for BMW N20 and N26 engines, often found in models like the 320i, 328i, 428i, and X1. This part replaces your factory diverter valve to help manage boost pressure more effectively, which can lead to a crisper throttle response and a more satisfying turbo sound.

The Dual Port design means it recirculates some of the air back into the intake system while venting a portion to the atmosphere, giving you a noticeable turbo flutter sound without causing issues with your car's factory computer system. It's a well-built unit from Turbosmart, known for their performance turbo components. This valve is made to handle the pressures of boosted engines, helping to protect your turbocharger by releasing excess boost when you let off the throttle.

Because this is a direct replacement for the factory diverter valve, installation is generally straightforward, often bolting right up to the original location. Just be aware that this particular valve is not CARB approved, so it cannot be shipped to California.
