The multiple award-winning Kompact EM Series of upgraded Blow Off Valves is the world's first truly plug-and-play upgrade solution for your factory diverter valve. Unplug and unbolt your OEM valve, and install a Kompact EM valve in its place. No adaptors, hoses, or extra assembly are required.

The Kompact EM Valve Series from Turbosmart takes motorsport-proven billet valve technology and adds an onboard, proprietary solenoid system and internal pressure control channels, resulting in a simple plug-and-play valve with full OE integration and control. There are no reference hoses, no separate solenoids, and no fiddly bits - Just bolt-on and plug in!

You can count on unmatched performance and reliability as a direct replacement for your factory diverter valve. The Kompact EM Valves overcome the common faults associated with plastic factory valves through our Boost-Balance Valve Design (the more boost you have, the better it seals), a positive seal O-ring on the piston's face, and billet construction. No matter your application, the Kompact EM Series will hold more boost and be more responsive in any environment.

Why would I upgrade my factory Diverter or Bypass Valve?

Fundamentally, factory Diverter Valves are built to a price point rather than with performance in mind. At Turbosmart, we want you to have the best performance available. Our upgraded valves are designed to overcome the limitations of factory equipment with improved sealing and valve dynamics. A Turbosmart Upgraded Valve will ensure you have all your available boosts with maximum response.

 

How does the Turbosmart Valve provide performance benefits?

The Turbsmart Range of direct replacement valves utilises our Unique Boost-Balance Valve Technology, featuring a positive seal O-ring on the Piston Face, and are made from motorsport-proven, hand-assembled billet aluminum. These features ensure the fastest responding valve and incredible boost-holding characteristics in a virtually indestructible valve.

 

What is the Turbosmart Boost-Balance System?

Our Valves are designed to ‘actuate or open’ via a pressure differential rather than relying solely on boost. This means we can run the lightest possible spring for a super-fast response, but it also means both sides of the piston are subjected to the same boost pressure when accelerating and under load. This means, regardless of how much boost you run, Turbosmart Valves will not open unless you want them to! You have all your boost pushing it closed at any point in time, PLUS the spring itself!

 

What is the Turbosmart Positive Seal O-Ring, and why does it matter?

As mentioned above, due to our Boost-Balance technology, the piston of Turbosmart valves is constantly being pushed into the valve seat when accelerating and under load. Turbosmart valves use a Viton O-ring on the face of the valve, which ensures the best possible seal against the body. This seal means maximum boost pressure at all times & improves boost response.

 

Can I Vacuum or Smoke test my Kompact Valve?

You can vacuum test these valves. However, you will need a high-flowing mechanical vacuum pump – you cannot use a hand-actuated vacuum pump as these do not replicate the flow your valve would see when fitted to an engine, meaning you will likely achieve nothing except for a ‘False-Positive’ to a leak test. These do not use an O-ring on the side of the piston and are not based on a diaphragm like the OE equipment; instead, the design focus is on sealing, speed, and overall flow. This design and absence of a diaphragm or O-ring also mean you cannot use a smoke test to test or validate a Turbosmart Valve.

 

How Much Horsepower will these valves handle?

More than you have! Due to the unique Turbosmart Boost-Balance System, you can’t have too much power or boost for the Kompact Range of Vales & at no point will they leak based on ‘Too-Much’ anything. The more boost you run, the better they will seal. With that said, highly modified engines may be able to find the limit of how much these valves can bypass when open & this is the only limit. If you’re at this level, you may consider a remote-mounted valve with more flow potential to avoid audible compressor surge. However, at no point will the valve open or vent due to too much boost or power.

SUITABLE FOR

Various Toyota models, including the CH-R, GR Corolla, and GR Yaris from 2017+.
Various Lexus models, including GS, IS, NX, RC, and RX that were available in the 200T variant.

A must have upgrade for your GR Corolla. This unit eliminates the side to side play that the factory shift linkage has. Nice, tight shifting post install. Awesome upgrade 👌🏼

The background print is too dark. The outline of the trees cannot be seen. The tombstones are very dark and the names on them cannot be seen. Cannot see the wheels or grill.

Customer photo review of Ice Cap Rolla Tee

Ordered an ice cap tee. No idea how a chose a small for my dad bod but my mistake was my daughter's gain. She immediately stole the shirt because we work on the car together. The Grey color is perfect for the colors in the design and makes the red pop. The design is sick and the quality shirt is really really nice. So much so I ordered the right size immediately! Buy one!

Customer photo review of OneSix Dad Hat

This hat…what can I say? Do you want to be the talk of the GR community? Do you want to have people look at you and know you mean business? Do you want keep the sun out of your eyes (wearing it forward of course)? Do you want to be successful? If you answered yes to any of these, then this is the hat for you! The fit and feel of this hat is perfect, much like the Brin Naub® and synthetic leather-trimmed sport seats in the GR. The embroidery seems as though it was done by the hands of angels, every stitch to perfection. When I first put this hat on, I lost 15lbs and gained another 15lbs in muscle (can’t confirm it scientifically, but the scale stayed the same and I felt stronger). My senses while having this hat on were also heightened. The 6 speed manual transmission in my GR Corolla didn’t stand a chance as I flew through the gears masterfully while passing the Ferrari SF90 stradale awd that couldn’t keep up with me (it may have been slowing down to turn, but pretty positive they saw me and knew they couldn’t keep up). Bottom line is, you want this hat, you NEED this hat. I’d recommend buying atleast two of them for when people notice you’ve become too powerful and try to steal your hat. Always have a backup! And remember, with a great hat comes great responsibility, or something like that. Buy this hat now!

Love the design of the shirt!! I ordered two of them and they were delivered quickly after. My family loves this shirt as I have a HM GRC. Next time, when I order again, I’d consider getting one size larger.

Customer photo review of Hyouyuki ヒョウユキ | Drifting Snow Tee

Graphics are sick, they’re printed well (screenprinting feels thick, like it won’t crack, fade or peel so that’s good) printing seems accurate (back is perfectly centered), blank material is always s tier w comfort colors so that’s good. 10/10 will buy again

Going to make this short and sweet, was going to order my MBRP exhaust through a different company but before that I had onesix In the back of my head. The experience I had was top tier. They answered every single question and kept me in the loop with shipping. I would definitely recommend buying from these guys! They're in it to make sure the customers that buy from them are more then satisfied...but well taken care of.
