Enhance Your Ford Focus RS with Turbosmart's Kompact Shortie Plumb Back

If you are a car enthusiast or more specifically a Ford Focus RS owner, there's a high-performance addition to your ride that you will not want to ignore. The Turbosmart Kompact Shortie Plumb Back – VR08 – is not just another aftermarket accessory. It's a piece of engineering designed to enhance the performance and durability of your vehicle, while also preventing failures that can plague plastic OEM blow-off valves. Traditionally, the RS models have been equipped with plastic OEM blow-off valves. However, these have had a history of being prone to leaks and becoming brittle over time, potentially leading to severe dysfunctions. Unfortunately, once your boost pressure reaches around 23 PSI, your standard plastic blow-off valve starts to struggle. Here is where the Turbosmart Kompact Shortie finds its niche. Unlike the plastic alternatives, the Kompact Shortie is constructed with billet aluminium, giving it undoubted toughness. Its brass piston is incredibly strong, yet also being exceptionally light. Each Shortie Blow-off Valve (BOV) comes with a piston tailored specifically to it to ensure the best possible fit. In addition to this, the seals the body against the piston without the need for an O-ring. What you get is an accessory offering unrivalled durability and responsiveness, with significantly less maintenance than aftermarket BOVs. You have the option of selecting from two versions of the Kompact Shortie for your Focus RS – the Dual Port and Plumb Back versions. The Plumb Back is a fully recirculating blow-off valve that matches the volume of the standard valve. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a performance-enhanced Turbosmart BOV without attracting unwanted attention. On the other hand, the Dual Port allows a split operation between recirculation and venting to the atmosphere for an impressive sound effect at high boosts. These enlarged ports, compared to previous models, provide the RS with the necessary flow. The decision, is wholly up to your personal preference and requirements. Transitioning to the BOVs is effortless, and they directly replace the factory valves without the need for custom fabrication or special tools. Turbosmart is constantly designing more parts for Ford's latest EcoBoost range, and this specifically engineered BOV goes to show the high quality of their products. So, if you own a Ford Focus RS and want to elevate its performance, it’s time you consider Turbosmart’s Kompact Shortie Plumb Back. Not only will you add durability to your vehicle, but you'll also increase responsiveness, reduce maintenance, and potentially add that characteristic BOV sound to your ride. It’s a remarkable blend of form and function – a perfect harmony of engineering and performance.
