Description
This fits on intercooler part no. 28270-2B710
Due to the location of the OEM valve, there is limited space as it fills the gap between the top of the intercooler and the underside of the slam panel. The Forge Motorsport solution is to replace the OEM recirculation plate with our sandwich plate which creates enough room to fit FMDV42, ensuring you can enjoy that fantastic “pshh” sound!
The Forge direct replacement blow-off valve is designed to be a more durable and performance-oriented valve than the OEM unit. The OEM valve is suitable for stock boost levels for a period of time, however, once boost pressure is raised, and after prolonged use, the stock valve will no longer be adequate. Raising the boost output of the vehicle will have a number of effects on the OEM valve. First and foremost, the additional boost pressure will quickly exceed the capacity of the OEM spring to keep the valve closed under higher boost levels. Since you cannot change the springs in the OEM valve, it cannot be adjusted for higher boost levels. Secondly, the additional heat generated by the increased boost will quickly deteriorate the OEM rubber valve diaphragm, which will also lose strength with repeated oscillations.
The Forge valve uses full billet aluminum construction and Viton silicone O-rings that will withstand the highest boost levels and repeated abuse. It is also tunable for varying boost levels with the included spring tuning kit. The valve is fully rebuildable, and we recommend servicing the valve every 3 years or 20,000 miles.
