Turbosmart BOV Kompact PlumBack - Shortie - Ford Focus RS 2016 2.3L Ecoboost

The Kompact Shortie Blow-Off Valve for the Focus RS has been developed with the Focus's high boost pressure in mind, with the goal to improve performance and durability. Plastic OEM blow-off valves like those on the RS have a track record of failures - they leak, and they become brittle with age until they eventually crack, causing serious problems. Producing around 23 PSI of boost pressure in standard form, the Focus is already pushing the boundaries of its standard plastic blow-off valve - and there's not much room to turn the boost up before the standard valve will struggle to keep up.

Turbosmart's Kompact Shortie is constructed of billet aluminium, rather than plastic. Its brass piston is both strong and light, and each BOV is individually matched with the right piston to ensure the best fit, meaning there's no need for an O-ring to seal the body against the piston. This gives the Shortie unsurpassed durability and responsiveness, with less maintenance required than aftermarket BOVs that use piston sealing O-rings.

The Kompact Shortie for the Focus RS can be had in both Dual Port and Plumb Back versions. The Plumb Back is a fully recirculating blow-off valve that offers a similar sound volume to the standard valve, so you can have all the performance of a Turbosmart blow-off valve, while flying under the radar. The Dual Port features a split operation between recirculating and venting to atmosphere, providing quiet operation at low boost, and head-turning vent-to-atmosphere sound at high boost - a great complement to the Focus's rally fighter character. The Kompact Shortie for the Focus RS features enlarged ports compared to previous Shorties, giving the RS the flow it needs.

These direct replacement blow-off valves offer an easy performance improvement without the need for custom fabrication or special tools. It's yet another addition to Turbosmart's ever expanding range of parts for Ford's latest EcoBoost range of vehicles.

Turbosmart


Smarter Turbo Control, by Design

Turbosmart is an Australian manufacturer of high-performance forced induction accessories, built around a simple but powerful idea: turbo control should be smarter, more precise, and more reliable than the standard solutions the industry has traditionally offered. Founded on genuine passion for performance, the brand has grown into a globally recognised name in the forced induction aftermarket, trusted by racers, tuners, and enthusiasts across the world who demand products engineered to win and built to last.

A Global Standard, Set in Australia

Turbosmart's vision is straightforward: to be the first choice worldwide for forced induction upgrades across both performance and service industries. That ambition is backed by a product range that spans everything a turbocharged vehicle demands, from street-performance daily drivers to dedicated full race builds requiring the highest levels of boost control precision. With a growing international presence and brand advocates spanning tracks and workshops across the globe, Turbosmart has firmly established itself as a name that resonates far beyond its Australian origins. Their in-house engineering department also takes on complex industrial applications where the same hallmarks of their racing pedigree, precision, heat management, vibration control, and repeatability, translate directly into real-world solutions. It is this ability to operate at the cutting edge of both motorsport and industry that keeps Turbosmart at the forefront of forced induction technology worldwide.

Designed, Tested, and Manufactured In-House

Every Turbosmart product is designed, rigorously tested, and manufactured entirely in-house, ensuring that quality and performance are never compromised by external variables. Their engineering team applies a motorsport-first development philosophy, if it cannot survive the demands of competition, it does not reach the market. The result is a range of boost controllers, wastegates, blow-off valves, and turbo accessories that consistently raise the benchmark for boost control efficiency, durability, and precision across a wide range of turbocharged platforms.
