Product details
OVERVIEW
The N55's factory diverter valve is a plastic solenoid unit with a known failure record, and a leaking one costs boost long before it throws a code. Turbosmart's Kompact EM VR9 replaces it with a CNC billet valve that keeps the factory electronic control — the ECU still commands it, so nothing about the car's behavior changes except that the valve seals.
Choose the dual port version if you want some of the release audible, or the plumb back version to keep the car quiet and the metered air in the intake tract.
SPECS
- CNC billet construction
- Electronically managed — retains the factory solenoid control
- Direct plug-and-play replacement for the OEM N55 diverter valve
- Dual port and plumb back versions available
PARTS INCLUDED
- Valve as supplied by Turbosmart; see the installation instructions for the full bill of materials.
TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
