Turbosmart VR1 valve

[JKWMD]

I’ve been informed this will be available for the RS3 soon. I’m not familiar with these valves, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this product on other platforms. What are the benefits of having this installed? I believe this replaces the OEM blow off valve.

We currently have 3 of the dual port in stock for the RS3 that are 50/50 meaning they vent the first 50 of travel back into the intake, and the last 50% of travel is VTA.

They also plumb back: http://www.turbosmartdirect.com/Prod...-Back-VR1.html

Which functions exactly like the factory DV venting all bypassed air back into the intake, but with improved response and venting capability.

How much are they?

Price?

What would I notice if this were installed on my OEM turbo?; I do have the APR turbo inlet installed. I’m assuming this isn’t a DIY project. Why would one choose the plumb back versus the 50/50?

Thanks.

This is extremely DIY friendly. The BOV is not on the turbo on these cars. It is on the throttle body adapter right next to the intake. 3 bolts, and one plug, and its done. Takes about 45-1 hour if you work slow. The benefits are increased venting, and response time over the factory DV. Plumb-back simply will have no sound, all venting will go back into the intake. Dual-Port will have a very tasteful BOV sound when lifting off the throttle. We have run these on the MQB VW's for a while its the quietest, while giving you some cool turbo noises upgrade at a low cost that also has benefits.

Here is the location next to the intake

Is there a difference in performance between the 2 options, and can you confirm it’s compatible with the APR turbo inlet?

Thanks.

How much is it and what's the part number? Any noticeable sound difference? Is it proven to hold boost better for even stock turbo, albeit higher booster pressure (7-8 psi over stock).

Differences are outlined above. Let's be clear this is not a performance upgrade, it adds no power. It is a DV to replace the factory unit, if you are not sure what a DV does, a quick google search will yield a lot of great articles that help explain it. Basics when your turbo builds boost, and you lift off the throttle, you have a full charge tract full of boost that is not vented. This boost will try to travel backward, slowing the turbo, and possibly causing damaging compressor surge. This Valve goes in the charge tract, and when you lift the ECU senses this and energizes the valve to open. This vents the excess boost, either back into the intake for the plumb back, or half intake/half atmosphere for dual-port giving you a whoosh sound many are familiar with from turbo engines. The factory DV while not bad can be slow to react, and when boost is turned up, can leak. At stock boost levels the benefits are quicker response and a more full vent as explained above.

Absolutely not. This sounds nothing at all like the typical BOV. It's very quiet, and if you want no noise simply get the plumb back.

Pricing and availability was posted above, please take a little time, read over the thread, and think most questions will be answered. If you have direct questions not answered, [email protected] for an immediate response.

This is compatible with the APR turbo inlet yes, as it's not on the turbo itself

I'm sure you can't say without testing, but what are the chances it'll fit a bigger TB inlet? My DV sits basically against a bolt as is, utilizing the SRM inlet.

In the area shown I believe the VR1 is actually thinner than the factory DV, but you are correct, we would have to test it to be 100% sure

[FuzzyHat]

Any sound clips of Plumb back and Dual Port?

We have no sound clips currently, but the plumb back will have no sound at all, it vents 100% of the air back into the intake. You can look up VR1 on google, and there are some videos, but the ones we listened to sounded much louder than our RS3 sounds with the dual-port, we will take a video when time allows.

I like the Forge Unit (as it comes with the throttle body elbow in one unit) but then I'm uncertain it'll line up with the larger MMS or SRM TB inlet/pipe

Here is what is involved with the forge unit. https://www.forgemotorsport.com/High...1487.html#prev

Solenoids, vacuum actuation, many many more parts. We used to offer Forge DV's with our turbo upgrades. They turned into service items, constantly sticking, requiring 3 port solenoid with multiple vacuum lines running across the engine bay, etc. We no longer offer them. This unit involves 3 screws, and one plug, complete factory control is retained. Nothing extra is needed. For simplicity, and reliability its very hard to beat the VR1

[cityazndan]

Do you have to remove anything to gain access to the plug and the three bolts?

[VargasTurboTech]

You must gain access to the DV yes, its about 45mins to 1-hour start to finish if working slow. If you have changed one before it can prob be done in 15 minutes. If you are uncomfortable removing things from the engine, we suggest a qualified shop to ensure proper installation.

Hi,

A quick question: if this is not a performance item, as you said, and the plumb back version makes no sound, then what is the point?

Improved drivability?
Less stress on turbo, (i.e. for longevity)?

I know it doesn’t add power, but if the turbo was more efficient, or spooled quicker, might there be performance benefits?

If anyone is curious you can hear the valve here on the dyno: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0u8uiH...=1cdvwstn9q0iy

Anyone install one of these bad boys yet and noticed anything besides the sound? Less turbo flutter? Turbo response?

Hi recently I got purchase 1 unit for ur company but I have meet a trouble code after installed the DV in the diagnose it throw out the trouble code P003500 turbo charger bypass valve high circuit? after clear it the msg come back again after few drive also I have try to switch back to stock DV the trouble code straight away gone! Can u clarify what problem with the DV?

[jd_rs3]

Is there a 100% atmosphere option? I get some gnarly turbo flutter and would love for a new DV valve to be the answer, but I'm afraid it will not be.

Hello please drop us an email at [email protected] we can help you with that. Sounds like a bad wire or solenoid. We can exchange it for you, we just need it sent back. We can help you with that via email.

Hate to pull up an old thread but I went to install the Turbosmart DV on my aftermarket CTS throttle body inlet and there is an issue with it sitting flush with the inlet. I am wondering if anyone has found the same issue and what they did to make it work. For example machining down one of the flanges for it to sit flush. Either the hole in the inlet or on the DV itself as it is solid unlike the stock DV where the piston moves for it to fit.
