Forge Recirculation Valve for BMW N13 1.6 Turbo
Upgrade the weak factory electronic bypass valve on your BMW N13 1.6 turbo with this Forge recirculation valve. Designed for the BMW F20 and F21 1 Series and F30 3 Series, including 114i, 116i, 118i, 120i, 316i and 318i, this direct replacement diverter valve fixes common boost leaks caused by split rubber diaphragms and delivers consistent, reliable boost control on both stock and remapped cars.
