Performance - Mercedes A Class

This valve is an upgrade for the 2.0 turbocharged M133 DE20 LA (265 kW 355BHP version)  engine found in the Mercedes AMG A45 upto 2015. The engine as supplied by AMG has a port for a dump valve on the side of the turbo, but it is blanked off. Whilst this is fine for the stock level of tune, as the boost is turned up when the car is remapped, driveability can be effected and the car can stutter on hard acceleration, which ultimately will reduce the life of the turbo. Our valve bolts straight up to the turbo and is supplied with appropriate hardware in order to source vacuum to operate the valve. The valve features an aluminium piston for longevity, and is fully serviceable and can be rebuilt with a range of springs to suit your level of power. "Fitted to my Facelift A45 AMG. Takes some time to fit but once installed in my opinion is well worth it. Sounds great, loud enough to put a smile on your face but not intrusive or "ricery". Also a great add on for anyone going Stage 2. Thanks again ✌"   Please Note: In line with our policy to constantly review, revise, and improve our product range, the appearance of the product you receive may differ from the one advertised.

GFB's DV+ diverter valve range offers a direct-fit performance solution for the weak factory diverter valves used on many modern vehicles. By retaining the factory ECU control and recirculating the vented air, the DV+ is a purely performance-orientated product. GFB’s DV+ design solves the longevity and boost leaking issues that are common with factory diverter valves, and also changes the operation method to “pilot actuation” to ensure better performance on stock or modified engines. Furthermore, these benefits won’t cost you the Earth! Rather than throwing the entire factory diverter valve system in the bin (like other manufacturer’s “solutions”), the DV+ keeps what works and replaces what doesn’t. It retains the factory solenoid and ECU control to ensure simple installation and reliable operation. 10% faster opening, 50% faster closing than the factory diverter Retains the factory solenoid for seamless integration Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on stock or modified engines Direct-fit replacement with GFB’s TMS benefits Exclusive “pilot-actuated” valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost   Related Videos: ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH: Ford C-MAX FIESTA FOCUS GALAXY GRAND C-MAX KUGA MUSTANG S-MAX TOURNEO CONNECT TRANSIT CONNECT Mercedes-Benz A-CLASS B-CLASS C-CLASS CLA E-CLASS GLA-CLASS SLC SLK Proton EXORA PREVE SUPRIMA S Volvo S60 S80 V40 V60 V70 XC60 XC70

TECHNICAL DATA Despite the AMG four’s high boost levels, these vehicles do not have a bypass valve fitted from the factory. This is likely because the plastic valves typically found in OEM setups would not be capable of handling the A45’s 26PSI of boost without failing prematurely. As a result, the AMG 45 models suffer from a significant amount of compressor surge. Compressor surge, combined with the A45’s high boost pressures, equals a recipe for disaster for the bearings inside the turbocharger. Enter Turbosmart’s Kompact Shortie Blow-Off Valve for the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG. This high performance billet aluminium valve bolts straight onto the the compressor cover of the AMG’s turbocharger. With both Dual Port and Plumb Back variants available, owners can choose between the classic blow-off valve sound afforded by the Dual Port’s 50-50 split between recirculating and vent-to-atmosphere operation, or the quieter and OEM-like operation of the Plumb Back. Both variants dramatically reduce the compressor surge experienced by the A45 in standard form. The Shortie’s billet construction and high performance piston design, which eliminates the need for an O-ring to seal the body of the blow-off valve against the piston due to extremely fine machining tolerances, means the valve has no problem coping with the boost pressures produced by the AMG’s turbo, ensuring no leaks and extreme durability – even if you decide to turn the boost up. The VR03 Kompact Shortie Kit for the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG includes a Boost Reference Adapter that allows the blow-off valve to respond to engine vacuum instantly, providing a greater level of control compared to electronically operated valves. This is possible by allowing the valve to access a manifold pressure reference in the AMG’s otherwise closed system – all without any destructive methods, such as tapping into the intake manifold. The Boost Reference Adapter offers two pressure ports, allowing you to run a second manifold pressure operated accessory, such as a boost gauge.
