This new Forge valve is a hybrid of sorts, that combines their existing full replacement solenoid controlled recirculating valve with the blow-off (dv spacer) valve adapter. The result is a full replacement atmospheric blow-off valve that integrates seamlessly with the OEM electronics and results in absolutely no fault codes, no check engine lights, and no detriment to the performance of the vehicle in any way.

Like the Forge full replacement recirculating valve option, the FMFSITAT is fully engineered to remedy the failure issues experienced with the OEM solenoid valves when their diaphragm may rupture which would effectively result in a boost leak. The Forge valve uses full billet aluminium construction with a piston based internal design that provides for significantly improved reliability over the OEM valves along with lightning fast response.

This new valve is particularly well suited to the B7 and B8 chassis Audi A4 and A5 with the 2.0T engine. The valve mounting location on these vehicles is positioned particularly close to the frame rail of the chassis, and the overall installed height of the standard replacement valve and spacer combination is such that it conflicts with the chassis at this location. The new FMFSITAT valve has a much shorter overall installed height, which enables fitment of this atmospheric valve option onto the B7 and B8 chassis whereas this was previously not an option.

Another particularly unique feature of this product is the included intake manifold tap used to source a vacuum reference for the operation of the valve. This piece also has two other available provisions from which an intake manifold reference can be taken. These extra manifold references can be used for a boost gauge signal, and even a water/meth injection trigger where applicable.

Purchasing this valve will save a significant amount of money in comparison to the recirculating valve and spacer combined option which totals $320.00 retail.
