Turbosmart Kompact EM Plumb Back BOV VR19 - 2022+ Ford Maverick 2.0L EcoBoost

Overview

The Turbosmart Kompact EM Plumb Back Blow Off Valve (TS-0223-1282) is the multiple award-winning, world's first truly plug-and-play electronic diverter valve upgrade engineered specifically for Ford EcoBoost-powered vehicles. Designed for daily drivers and performance enthusiasts alike, this billet aluminum replacement BOV eliminates the boost leakage and inconsistent throttle response caused by worn factory plastic diverter valves — with zero wiring modifications, no extra hoses, and no adapters required. The Kompact EM Plumb Back quietly recirculates excess boost pressure back into the intake system for smooth transitions, peak fuel efficiency, and full emissions compliance.

Key Features & Benefits

• Patented Boost-Balance Valve Technology — Unlike traditional diverter valves that can leak under high boost, Turbosmart's exclusive Boost-Balance technology uses boost pressure itself to force the piston harder against the seat, creating a positive seal that grows stronger as pressure rises — eliminating boost leaks even on heavily modified EcoBoost engines.
• True Plug-and-Play Upgrade — Unplug and unbolt the OEM valve, and install the Kompact EM in its place. No vacuum lines, no external solenoids, no adapters, and no wiring mods required. Full factory ECU integration is retained out of the box.
• Integrated Proprietary High-Temperature Solenoid — The onboard solenoid and internal pressure control channels communicate directly with the factory ECU exactly like the OEM valve, ensuring zero check-engine lights, seamless drivability, and complete OE control of valve operation.
• Billet CNC Aluminum & Brass Construction — Hand-assembled from motorsport-proven billet aluminum with high-temperature O-rings and a brass solenoid housing — this valve will not crack, warp, or degrade over time like the factory plastic unit.
• Positive Face-Sealing O-Ring on Piston — A Viton O-ring on the piston face provides an airtight metal-to-metal-class seal, maximizing available boost pressure and sharpening throttle response at all RPM levels.
• Plumb Back / Recirculating Design — Vents 100% of bypass gases back into the air intake for silent, stealthy operation that mirrors the OEM valve — ideal for daily drivers, emissions-tested vehicles, and MAF-based fuel systems. No "whoosh" sound.
• CARB Compliant — Street Legal in All 50 States — Holds CARB Executive Order #D-848-3, making it fully street-legal in California and all states adopting California clean air standards. No tune required.
• Scalable Performance for Modified Builds — The Boost-Balance system means the valve will never open or vent due to excessive boost pressure. The more boost you run, the better it seals — making it a must-have upgrade for hybrid turbos or larger flowing turbocharger builds.

Fitment & Compatibility

The Turbosmart Kompact EM Plumb Back VR19 (TS-0223-1282) is a direct OEM replacement for all Ford EcoBoost platforms equipped with an electronic factory diverter valve, including:

• 2022+ Ford Maverick — 2.0L EcoBoost (USDM)

Note: This valve is compatible with stock and mildly modified EcoBoost setups. For vehicles running aftermarket AFE charge pipes or similar high-flow intercooler piping, confirm charge pipe BOV port compatibility before purchasing. Always verify your specific build year and engine code against Turbosmart's official fitment guide at turbosmart.com.

Is this CARB compliant? Yes. The Turbosmart Kompact EM Plumb Back VR19 holds CARB Executive Order #D-848-3 and is approved for sale and street use on motor vehicles in California and all states that have adopted California clean air standards.

Will this work with a tuned or hybrid turbo EcoBoost? Yes. The Boost-Balance design means the valve seals more effectively as boost pressure increases, making it an especially strong upgrade for hybrid turbos or larger-flowing turbocharger builds where the stock plastic valve commonly leaks.

Does the Plumb Back make a blow-off sound? No. The Plumb Back version recirculates all bypass gases back into the intake tract and operates silently like the OEM valve. If you prefer an audible blow-off sound, see the Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port VR19 (TS-0223-1082).

Installation

Installation is a straightforward bolt-on procedure requiring no tune, no new wiring harness, no vacuum hoses, and no adapter fittings. Simply ensure the engine is cold, unplug the factory electronic diverter valve connector, remove the 3 OEM mounting bolts (10mm), and bolt the Kompact EM in its place using the supplied M6 fasteners and Torx-head plastic screws. Reconnect the factory plug — installation complete. Estimated installation time is approximately 1 hour. Turbosmart recommends installation by a qualified technician; however, this is considered a novice-level bolt-on modification accessible to most home mechanics with basic hand tools.
