Inside the upcoming CorkSport Blow Off Valve

[CorkSport]

When you look at the blow off valves (BOV) and bypass valves (BPV) on the market today you see many examples of the same thing with little to no innovations. For those of you that aren’t aware, BOV’s and BPV’s are valves that vent pressurized air in the tract between the turbo and the throttle [...]

Nice! I've always considered these "upgrades" as nothing but rice and another potential problem for stock turbo cars, but if the faster response will add some longevity to my turbo I'm all over it.

Actually, the Synapse Engineering "Synchronic" BOVs and Diverter Valves are probably the last great innovations to the technology in the last few years...

Diverter Valve | Bov | smallest, lightest, fastest blow off valve on the market.

SURE, it can be hard to innovate in the blow off valve market but we were convinced there was something exciting we could do.

I see what you did there You guys make great products!

[Colin1337]

Hmm, interested in how these will perform/sound. Might end up switching if the results and the price are good.

[motherfnmonsta]

I will be more then glad to test this out for you.

[hsraffety]

I'd like to test, and then pay for my test unit.

[CorkSport]

We've actually been testing this in one form or another for almost a year... it will be released into the wild soon!!!

[starscream]

Will this work with the guardian angel? As in its a push type? pull type? penis type...wait what?

[Littlescroll]

Is it safe to assume that this will be a blow off valve only, and not a hybrid valve?

By the looks of it, it is a bypass only

[xx5PEEDxx]

I'm anxious to see a hybrid bov model since I'm about to pull the trigger on a GFB Response... Subbed for my info....

It looks like a bypass only in the pics, but they're calling it a blow off valve. They even explain the difference in the blog post, so I'm curious as to what this is going to be.

@CorkSport; is really good at teasing us this summer.

[Tokay444]

Bypass valve easily becomes blow off valve.

[mrmonk7663]

Exactly. Take off the recirc tube and plug the TIP

I was waiting to find a bpv that caught my eye and was something different. I dig this. It's gonna make me jump on a AP/Tune faster than I had planned. CSFTMFW

[SleeperHatch]

Interesting..

I'm down for this as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg...

[dale_gribble]

30% smaller = 30% less material = 30% cheaper right?! Well played CS. Well played.

I like how you use the factory o-ring; I don't like the paper gaskets of most aftermarket units, because more times then not, the flange and/or BPV isn't that flat so it's an open invite for leaks around the base.

What's it sound like?

[Davsetz]

I want to yell and groan cuz we got enough BOV's but it sexy enough I guess I can forgive you especially if it sounds as sexy as your exhaust... Still want a good inexpensive (sp) mani or something not on the drop in market like cams....

I like mine (Synchronic)

the wave spring is cool and the factory o-ring use great... can you post what these sound like for the inner ricers in all of us ?

[Hectik1]

Damn it, I didn't want to spend more money on this car. This thread has got me thinking again!

[SneakySin]

Will pick one up if the price isn't ridiculous like most BPVs

[ms3rick]

Whats the price?
Will it work with GA @Lex;
Are there color options?

@Joel@CorkSport; Noob question: Is the explanation that you give for the performance difference explanation of this BOV (if that's what it is), an explanation of why your new product will still be a smart option for K04 applications without loss of power? What I mean is, it has been discussed at length that unless your BT & require the extra venting, BOV's have arguably been frowned on for stock turbo use, performance wise, and have only rice value. Are you saying yours is different because of its different mechanics? (Again, this is assuming that your repeatedly calling it a BOV is because it is just that). Thanks for any info, I can only infer from your write-up on your blog page. Obviously this is moot incase BPV/Hybrid.

[dan7225]

90 degree vacuum fitting?

[silvapain]

I'll probably pick one up to try out. Looks interesting enough to give it a go!

This valve is designed to re-circ. but like others have said, it would be pretty easy to cap the inlet pipe and vent to atmosphere. This valve works great on the stock turbo and is especially helpful if you are raising the boost.

Cheers,

grab one for me while you're at it.

[CorkSport]

Also, it looks like we will be selling these for $169.99!!!

So...still meant to be run in recirc mode for best results for our platform if running K04 then? If the price is right, I'm def down for this in a nice stealth black.

[faeker]

judging by the pic it looks like you can't change the direction of the recirc part. that can be problematic for some. I know a lot of valves don't offer a way to aim it, but with no n OEM style flanges you don't need to worry about that. I have to change my bpv's angle by a few hairs so the recirc hose doesn't kink up with my setup. regardless of my own personal needs, this looks damn sexy.

[jk_ms3]

Son of a gun, CorkSport. Why must you make me want to spend my money?

[m4tic]

initial release discount?

[ms3_goon]

Do want nao

[dale_gribble]

I'm in, pending what the valve sounds like. I don't want a sword fight under the hood. Do you have a sound preview?

[CorkSport]

Nope.... but.... I am actually looking for 10 early adopters that I could give a slight discount to, provided they give un-biased reviews on MSF and install them early.

im down!

[dale_gribble]

I'm in. You've read some of my impartial works here through my year of constant experiments. I am kind of sick of fighting leaks in my Turbosmart BPV, so I'm ready to move on. @Joel@CorkSport
