FORGE PEUGEOT RCZ 156 & 200 THP 1.6 TURBO BLOW OFF DUMP VALVE FMDVR60A

Description

Forge Motorsport Atmospheric Dump Valve kit for the Peugeot RCZ (156 and 200 THP Models)FMDVR60A

This Blow off or Atmospheric Dump valve is for the Mini Countryman R60/R58 Cooper S/Peugeot 208 Gti/Peugeot RCZ (156 and 200THP)  that have the electronically controlled bypass valves (Cooper S models

). It is either recommended where the boost pressure has been increased

by an ECU software upgrade or simply for those wanting a loud Blow off

sound or simply as a solution to the many failures that have occurred.The

most common complaint on the OEM solenoid valve is a split diaphragm

preventing the valve from opening fully, or not at all. This doesn’t

always result in a check engine light as the valve can still be blown

open by the boost pressure. We have seen many valves with this problem

(see image below). The other problem is that diaphragm retaining ring is

made from very thin plastic that goes brittle with heat cycles, and

eventually fails. This prevents the diaphragm from sealing with the same

problems as mentioned above. This particular failure also results in

the valve falling apart upon removal from the turbo, though in extreme

cases bits of plastic can enter the turbo and destroy it. (see image

below). Our alternative is a fully engineered solution offering

both significantly improved reliability .Our valve is piston based ,

with no diaphragm to fail, and of all aluminium construction, it

replaces the original unit with a pressure/vacuum operated piston valve

that still also retains the desirable OEM ECU control over valve

actuation. The valve has been proved on the VAG scene for many years.

The spring is interchangeable for different levels of boost, and the

solenoid is plug and play with the wiring harness which is included.
