Turbosmart BOV Kompact EM Plumb Back VR26 - Ford Explorer EcoBoost V6 (Excl ST Models)

The billet aluminum construction of this Turbosmart Kompact EM Plumb Back VR26 blow-off valve is a solid starting point for understanding its performance. This valve is specifically designed for the Ford Explorer EcoBoost V6, excluding the ST models, ensuring a direct fit for your turbocharged vehicle. It works by releasing excess boost pressure from the turbocharger system when you lift off the throttle, preventing compressor surge and helping to keep your turbo spinning smoothly. This means your turbocharger can respond quicker the next time you step on the gas, leading to a more consistent and immediate power delivery.

What sets this Kompact EM valve apart is its electronic actuation, meaning it integrates directly with your vehicle's factory boost control system. This setup is designed to be a direct replacement for the stock bypass valve, making installation more straightforward. The plumb-back design recirculates all vented air back into the intake system, which helps maintain the factory sound signature and ensures that the air is still measured by the mass airflow sensor. This is important for keeping your engine running smoothly and preventing potential check engine lights.

Turbosmart has built a reputation for well-made forced induction components, and this blow-off valve is no exception. The precision machining and robust materials mean it can handle the pressures and temperatures found in a turbocharged engine bay. If you're looking to maintain or improve the responsiveness of your EcoBoost Explorer's turbo system, this valve offers a reliable and integrated solution. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
