Turbosmart Plumb Back Kompact Diverter Valve for Honda Civic Type R (FK2/FK8/FL5)
The Turbosmart Plumb Back Kompact Diverter Valve is a premium direct-fit upgrade for the Honda Civic Type R FK2, FK8, and FL5. This billet aluminum recirculating (plumb back) blow-off valve replaces the factory diverter valve and provides superior boost holding, faster response, and improved durability.
Unlike the stock plastic valve, the Turbosmart Kompact is built to handle higher boost levels while maintaining quiet, OEM-like operation by recirculating excess boost back into the intake system. It is the perfect choice for enthusiasts who want better performance without the loud whoosh of a vent-to-atmosphere BOV.
