Turbosmart BOV Kompact EM Plumb Back VR11 - BMW N55 M2 / X4 M40i 2016-2018
The Turbosmart BOV Kompact EM Plumb Back VR11 is an electronically controlled blow-off valve designed for BMW N55 turbo engines in 2016-2018 M2 and X4 M40i models. It recirculates excess boost pressure silently into the intake pipe to protect the turbo from compressor surge during shifts. This direct-fit upgrade delivers precise boost management for consistent power delivery and extended turbo life.
Key Features
- Electromagnetic Solenoid Actuator: Delivers rapid response times under 4ms to hold boost until throttle reopens preventing surge and maintaining full power.
- Plumb Back Venting: Routes air back through the intake system quietly complying with emissions and track rules while keeping the engine bay clean.
- Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum Body: CNC-machined for strength-to-weight ratio that withstands high boost levels up to 30psi without failure.
- Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Replaces OEM valve on BMW N55 platforms using factory mounting points and hose connections for easy upgrade.
- VR11 Spring and Tunable Design: Optimized for 11-22psi boost range with adjustable solenoid duty cycle for custom tuning via ECU or boost controller.
Product Notes
- Requires compatible intake piping for plumb back setup and ECU remap for solenoid activation.
- Use Turbosmart wiring harness for plug-and-play solenoid connection to engine harness.
- Hand-assembled in Australia with race-proven components for track durability.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Disconnect battery before install and flash ECU tune supporting PWM solenoid control.
- Mounts to OEM location with included gasket and hardware no fabrication needed.

Forced Induction
Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...
