I don't get why doesn't Turbosmart install the better spring to begin with? Not sell you a product and say "hey. if you want a better spring, you can by separately".
I have a question I have the same BOV for my st everything was fine but then I decided to back out the bolts and put thread locker on then but I guess I tightened them to tight and it wouldn't allow the bov to fully let the air I lossened the bolts some then it worked any idea why that would be
Hi Charles Sorry to be a pain The video shows you installing the BOV with the pink spring and you made no other adjustments or add any extra bits I bought the part you show from Turbosmart TS 0203-1064 The box is clearly marked 2016 focus RS 2.3L Ecoboost, however in this box is a BRA boost refence adaptor, some fittings and hose Was that all you did as shown as clearly no one on UA-cam shows the fitting of this BOV and the extra bits I ask the question as I have a 2018 RS with only 170miles on the clock, I don’t want to destroy my engine Can you advise or anyone help me if I would need to install the bra
Hey you're no bother! I want to make sure this video is helping, not confusing. I installed this bov before some of the "updates" I guess...The BRA doesn't need to be installed, but I probably would. It's supposed to help with part throttle blowoff (which can become annoying) by making this bov completely mechanical, and not reliant upon the factory solenoid. Bottom line, install it (as recommended by Turbosmart).
Does the pink spring fit the shortie Bob? I fitted one to mine and she doesn't blow off, the stock is alot shorter so I'm wondering if the pink spring is to long.
Hi I ordered this valve and the pink spring spoke to Turbosmart who said that the pink spring should under no circumstances be fitted to this valve also why did you not install the extra parts that come with this BOV
Odd. I'll need to reach out to them. They're the ones that sent us the pink spring in the first place...I'm not sure which extra parts you mean, but I think the bov's come with extra stuff since they are applicable to multiple vehicles.
Here’s there email Hi Dave, We didn't make that video so I can't comment on it - you might be able to get in touch with the creator of the video. Our parts are designed as aftermarket upgrades and as with everything in the Motorsport world, sometimes vehicle owners will customise products to suit their needs Installed from factory in your BOV is our Kompact Shortie Pink/Orange Spring, which is not available as a spare part (you wont see these packaged or for sale) - the springs you have shown me suit the larger Kompact BOVs We don't supply that spring as a spare part for your model of BOV, nor do we recommend it The BOV itself is a direct fit for your model, and no changing of springs is required Check out the instructions here Thank you,

Okay, looks like I'll need to edit the description. Before (when I did the install) that pink spring came straight from them, but obviously there is a slight update with it not being needed to be swapped. I also added info on the BRA, so hopefully everyone is set from here!
Hey maybe you guys could help me, im a complete noob on this section. You will have this constant hissing while cruising if you dont install the BRA. But you have to install it where you originally plug in the BOV and absolutely no one mentions where you put the BOV in this case. I'm so lost right now bc it makes no sense in my mind...hope you will have an answer!
Charles Pages cheers also 1 more questions mite be a stupid one but can u tighten dual port shortie all the way up so its like the plump back shortie ? I ended up getting the dual port for my rs and wouldn't mind going back to a plump back again. Dual port is already installed on car... so not sure hey can u help?
When I click Amazon link from you, TS-0203-1061 stands but on the homepage of Turbosmart is the right valve for Focus RS MK3 TS-0203-1064.Have I overlooked? Thanks in advance for the answer.
I'm looking for a more classic whistle, not something that sounds like Darth Vader's suit sprung a leak (most of what I've already seen.) Anyone have any better ideas?
Hello, i have the same car and i wanna put this same bov but if i do will i void my warranty ? And do i need a tune if i only wanna install the bov?? Thanks! And sounds amazing!!
Warranty: look up the magnuson moss warranty act. You DO still run a risk of dealer issues when you mod though. A tune is highly recommended. I'd get a tune first (cobb) and then start with bolt ons.
Warranty voiding is a gray area. Basically if something fails because of this part, Ford can claim not to cover it. If your suspension starts to leak, they can't blame this. Check out magnuson moss act.
We had no issues when we installed ours. A tune is highly recommended though, as this vents some air to the atmosphere that the engine was expecting to have/see. If I recall correctly, they have a 50/50 and a 100% return to engine one.
Hey man, I used to be an STI owner, and we needed a tune for just about anything. I'm getting an RS in about 2 weeks - 1 month from now. Can I just slap on a BOV or a whole turbo back exhaust and not have to tune it?
A tune is highly recommended, as you'll gain more power and it'll run better over all (with or without mods) but the BOV can be run without a tune, and a turboback might be okay, but I don't know about check engine lights and sensors since I haven't done a turboback yet.
NO, it is NOT required. The car has MAP sensors meaning this air is not metred and the engine is not relying on this air, it is fine to run it forever on this blow off valve without a tune.
I don't get why doesn't Turbosmart install the better spring to begin with? Not sell you a product and say "hey. if you want a better spring, you can by separately".
Used this video to install mine, thx .
I use a block off plate there and vent from the cold side of the system. Makes better sound and looks so much better
i guess it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Jace Walker flixportal :P
@Nickolas Beckham thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it !!
@Jace Walker happy to help =)
Does it come with the pink spring or do you have to buy it separately?
I have a question I have the same BOV for my st everything was fine but then I decided to back out the bolts and put thread locker on then but I guess I tightened them to tight and it wouldn't allow the bov to fully let the air I lossened the bolts some then it worked any idea why that would be
how would i adjust it to make it go off more frequently, under low boost it just surges the turbo
Hi Charles
Sorry to be a pain

Was that all you did as shown as clearly no one on UA-cam shows the fitting of this BOV and the extra bits

Many thanks Charles
Did you have to adjust the BOV once installed I noticed you counted 7 turns with the pink spring
How many turns?
Does the pink spring fit the shortie Bob? I fitted one to mine and she doesn't blow off, the stock is alot shorter so I'm wondering if the pink spring is to long.

Hi Dave,
We didn't make that video so I can't comment on it - you might be able to get in touch with the creator of the video.
Our parts are designed as aftermarket upgrades and as with everything in the Motorsport world, sometimes vehicle owners will customise products to suit their needs
Installed from factory in your BOV is our Kompact Shortie Pink/Orange Spring, which is not available as a spare part (you wont see these packaged or for sale) - the springs you have shown me suit the larger Kompact BOVs
We don't supply that spring as a spare part for your model of BOV, nor do we recommend it
The BOV itself is a direct fit for your model, and no changing of springs is required
Check out the instructions here
Thank you,

Hello!
Sounds good 👍🏻
No need to install the adapter? Can it be installed only by changing the original valve by the turbosmart as shown in the video?
The original BOV (really a re circulation valve) is no longer used. The Turbosmart BOV replaces the entire unit.
Hey maybe you guys could help me, im a complete noob on this section. You will have this constant hissing while cruising if you dont install the BRA. But you have to install it where you originally plug in the BOV and absolutely no one mentions where you put the BOV in this case. I'm so lost right now bc it makes no sense in my mind...hope you will have an answer!
Do you just reuse all the OEM hoses or were new ones required?
reused the factory ones!
Hey mate just seeing if you need to install the adapter they supplyed with the bov ???
the boost reference adapter? You can, so the ecu is in control of the bov (if that's what you want).
Charles Pages cheers also 1 more questions mite be a stupid one but can u tighten dual port shortie all the way up so its like the plump back shortie ?

Hmm, looks like a product changed on me! It's happened before. This is the right one+ I updated the description!. amzn.to/2o6FAcp
Erkan Görer It's the same as the ST.. either way
I'm looking for a more classic whistle, not something that sounds like Darth Vader's suit sprung a leak (most of what I've already seen.) Anyone have any better ideas?
Do you need to re map ecu after fitting
It's not a bad idea...
Are these legal or not for uk as I just installed and before I tell the police to fuck off want to make sure they can’t give me a ticket haha
No idea lol. Don't get caught?
Hello, i have the same car and i wanna put this same bov but if i do will i void my warranty ? And do i need a tune if i only wanna install the bov?? Thanks! And sounds amazing!!
Warranty: look up the magnuson moss warranty act. You DO still run a risk of dealer issues when you mod though. A tune is highly recommended. I'd get a tune first (cobb) and then start with bolt ons.
Did you buy the pink spring or was it included?
Pink was ordered separate, they suggested we use it (turbosmart did) amzn.to/2fPa7Xh
Does this void your service warranty?
Warranty voiding is a gray area. Basically if something fails because of this part, Ford can claim not to cover it. If your suspension starts to leak, they can't blame this. Check out magnuson moss act.
Charles Pages thanks man looking forward to getting my focus rs soon lol
Nice! They're a blast!
what happens if you make it softer/harder?
Softer= more of the pshhhhh sound 😂
Harder= more boost less noise
Someone said it runs like shit, is that true? Because this is something I want to do when I get my RS
We had no issues when we installed ours. A tune is highly recommended though, as this vents some air to the atmosphere that the engine was expecting to have/see. If I recall correctly, they have a 50/50 and a 100% return to engine one.
Charles Pages thank you for the info I’ll do some independent research before I get it
Hey man, I used to be an STI owner, and we needed a tune for just about anything. I'm getting an RS in about 2 weeks - 1 month from now. Can I just slap on a BOV or a whole turbo back exhaust and not have to tune it?
A tune is highly recommended, as you'll gain more power and it'll run better over all (with or without mods) but the BOV can be run without a tune, and a turboback might be okay, but I don't know about check engine lights and sensors since I haven't done a turboback yet.
No reference adapter?
No, this was installed prior to the official RS release from Turbosmart. We didn't run into any problems.
after install any issue from BOV also still dont need BRA??
does using the pink spring stop the bov from blowing off while cruising down the highway?
Did you get any answers? would be awesome
@@lolatsch99 If you are running a dual port BOV you need to install the Boost Reference Adaptor.
Anyone ever lose any power?
You shouldn’t...but if the tune got thrown off wack then sure.
is a tune needed afterwards?
We ran ours for a while without, but it would be suggested.
NO, it is NOT required. The car has MAP sensors meaning this air is not metred and the engine is not relying on this air, it is fine to run it forever on this blow off valve without a tune.
