Turbosmart Kompact Shortie VR08 Dual Port Blow Off Valve (BOV) / Dump Valve / Diverter Valve for Ford Focus RS Mk3 2.3 EcoBoost (2016-2018) – Direct-Fit Billet Turbo Valve Upgrade, VTA + Recirc, OEM DV Replacement

Premium turbo pressure relief upgrade for Ford Focus RS Mk3 2.3 EcoBoost

Unlock reliable boost control, sharper response and addictive turbo acoustics with Turbosmart’s Kompact Shortie Dual Port VR08. This compact, billet aluminium unit replaces the fragile factory plastic valve on the 2.3-litre RS, giving consistent performance on standard and remapped cars while delivering that sought-after whoosh under load.

Part number: VR08

Why enthusiasts choose this turbo valve

The stock diaphragm-style unit is known to fatigue, crack and leak, especially on cars running higher-than-stock pressure. The VR08 swaps in at the OEM location to stop boost bleed, help protect against compressor surge and restore confidence in hard driving. It is a durable, precision-built solution for fast-road, trackday and daily use on the Mk3 RS platform.

Standout features

• Alloy body construction for strength and heat resistance compared with the factory plastic assembly
• Individually matched brass piston for a precise seal without a piston O-ring for quick actuation and reduced maintenance
• Increased flow capacity to keep boost stable on tuned and standard engines
• Dual Port design combines recirculation and vent-to-atmosphere for refined manners off boost and a crisp turbo soundtrack on throttle
• Direct-fit replacement with a simple swap at the original mounting point

What you will feel

• Stronger boost holding under repeated acceleration
• Improved throttle response between gear changes
• Reduced risk of boost leaks from ageing OEM parts
• A satisfying, clean turbo discharge sound when you want it, with civilised operation the rest of the time

Fitment

Ford Focus RS Mk3 2.3 EcoBoost, 2016 to 2018.

Dual Port versus full recirc

This VR08 variant splits flow between recirc and atmosphere to balance smooth drivability with an engaging turbo note. If you prefer a quieter setup, a fully recirculated option exists in the Kompact Shortie range while delivering the same robust engineering.

Proven on customer cars

We have installed this unit on multiple Focus RS builds and feedback has been consistently positive. Owners report steadier boost control, crisper shifts and long-term reliability compared with the standard diverter.
