Turbosmart EM Kompact BOV Plumb Back VR18

The Turbosmart EM Kompact BOV Plumb Back VR18 is an electronically actuated blow off valve that recirculates excess boost pressure back into the intake system for quiet operation. It bolts directly onto the compressor outlet of select Garrett G-Series and BorgWarner EFR turbos found on performance vehicles. This design provides rapid response to prevent compressor surge and maintains consistent boost delivery.

Key Features

  • Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Matches VR18 compressor flange on Garrett G25-550/G25-660/G30-660/G30-760/G30-900/G30-1050/G42-1450 and BorgWarner EFR 7163/9180/9280 turbos for seamless installation.
  • Electronic Solenoid Actuator: PWM-controlled solenoid enables precise boost release timing and faster actuation than mechanical valves.
  • Plumb Back Recirculation: Routes air back to intake pipe via 12.5mm hose tail to eliminate noise and comply with track rules.
  • Tunable Spring Kit: Includes springs rated 5psi/8psi/12psi/14psi for adjustment up to 30+ psi with optional stiffer springs.
  • Durable Construction: CNC-machined billet 6061 aluminum body hard anodized black with corrosion-resistant stainless steel spring.

Product Notes

  • Verify turbo compressor housing uses VR18 flange before purchase.
  • Wire solenoid to 12V switched ignition source and ECU PWM output for full function.
  • Securely packaged in protective foam insert to prevent damage during transit.

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Bolts directly to turbo compressor outlet using factory-style mounting holes.
  • Connect plumb back hose to pre-turbo intake pipe with compatible clamps. test for boost leaks post-install.

Forced Induction

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...
