Product Description

The factory blow-off valve on the Civic Type R's turbo VTEC engine is a common weak point once you start pushing more boost - it's plastic, and it doesn't hold up well under sustained hard driving. This Kompact plumb back valve replaces it with a precision CNC-machined billet aluminum unit that recirculates vented air back into the intake, keeping your air/fuel ratio correct and staying fully compatible with the factory ECU tune.

Because it's a pure recirculating design, it won't trigger the check engine light or throw off your factory mapping like a vent-to-atmosphere valve can - a clean, no-tune-required upgrade for anyone wanting more durability without giving up factory drivability.
