Focus ST Turbosmart Dual Port Blow Off Valve 2013-2018 Installation

[@4by108]

I see someone tried to take off with the E brake still on

[@taye2427]

😂😂😂😂

[@Doty14]

Came here for this lmao

[@Bananahammock88]

Haha was gonna comment this

[@ZozaniEQ]

Installed this today and It was alot harder to do then it looked in this video due to the lack of space in the wheel-well. After about 2 1/2 hours and alot of cussing I got it installed and soon as I pressed the gas pedal I cracked a huge smile and realized how worth it that miserable install was. I love the way my car sounds now. This was such a great addon. It only took 3 days for CJPP's to ship it to my house. This video was all I used to assist me with installing the BOV I just wish it was as easy as in in the video too lol

[@AntonioLopez-kw3ev]

iaminea just installed mine today o do zero mechanic work used my dads tools watched the video and finished within an hour

[@charlesgru8978]

The Turbosmart one should have had an oring in it, mine did. That's something I learned the hard way long time ago to always check for on car parts.

[@overshotorchid4880]

currently installing mine and i’m about two and a half hours in, i’m almost done but i need a break cause it’s a huge pain in the ass

[@stevecraven4596]

I just finished. Took 2 hours. But it's worth every minute of it.

[@nathanielx23]

It looks like a bitch cause of the tight space.... lol

[@Tazandd]

If your BOV is going off constantly you have a boost leak. I found that the bolts they send with the BOV dont tighten all the way letting air in and put of the seal. Use the stock bolts instead and apply a new drop of threadlock to fully tighten it. This BOV should not be too loud and not go off under 4 psi.

[@kylesi2nr]

CJ Pony Parts Thank You for these videos! This exact part (the Turbosmart compact shortie dual port blow off valve) also fits my 2.0 ecoboost Ford Escape! The install was exactly the same (that top mounting nut is a pain!), with the same resulting sound ;) The Escape is now the meanest sounding grocery-getting soccer mom SUV in the city!

[@Locospyder2]

got mine in the mail today and will be installing it tomorrow fyi your videos on these st's are very informative

[@charlesgru8978]

Worked exactly as the video shows...though I notice you skipped over the hardest parts of lining up the hole and getting that top bolt when the motor is still hot. :D I'm glad I thought at the last second to make sure the atmo vent was pointing down, not up into the engine bay. All in all, I was done in 45 minutes, with my son helping hold the flashlight. Sounds awesome, and this video was a HUGE help, thank you!

[@oscar0421101]

Man .......I watched this video 2 years ago , and bought it for my FOST , and now look back to what I be done to the ST , feels like a parents grow their child

[@Zerogivengarage]

Thanks for the sub, we will have a lot more ST videos coming!

[@christurek28]

Where does the flat edge of the BOV go?

[@KB_jetfixer]

For anybody who is struggling with this or think they will be, save yourself some frustration and buy a set on long Allen sockets WITH a ball end. The ball end along with a long Allen shank will make your life 100x easier doing this install.

[@Zerogivengarage]

I said if you are planning on adding boost. The valve itself will not do anything to create power but its a much better quality part than the stock valve so it will probably add life to your turbo even at stock boost.

[@hideokojimajr]

Did this mod yesterday. It was pretty easy, though I have relatively small hands. Great sound.

[@Animatedtoaster]

Nice. Hand brake was on.

[@mattbaker7907]

Just Fitted mine today, bit of a pain to get to but only took an hour, thanks for the video

[@sleepz_tv]

Just ordered mine today! Can’t wait to install it!

[@OHdannyboy0402]

Thank you for posting these videos, my "installation CD" was damaged upon arrival so this was really helpful.

[@wintersun2k]

Haha is it just me or does the bgm kinda sound like "come out n play" by the offspring?

[@FroJoe999]

wintersun2k Im 99.99999% that it is lmao

[@jwuonog]

Like a generic version of it

[@hellcat9246]

You gotta keep em separated

[@eyes_of_madness3203]

I was able to get this on with only a little trouble well worth it

[@Zerogivengarage]

There is not a lot of room to work but overall it wasn't bad to do at all, took less than an hour and that was filming the install. I am sure it could be done in around 30 minutes since there are really just 3 bolts and a clamp to remove

[@andrewrupert7812]

Hey Bill, great videos. Loving this project car. The focus st seems really simple to work on compared to other cars. Keep up the great work, we do appreciate it!!

[@SteelSlugProductions]

Amazing install videos man...I have been waiting for some really good install videos for the Focus ST since the car came out and finally you bring them to me! Great work man! PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!!

[@JohnRStead]

Didn’t show setting up of the bov. Sometimes you lucky and it’s ok from the box. Sometimes your not though. If you rev and it opens too soon, or when you come off the revs it runs lumpy and tries to die p/stall you need to tighten on turn and retest. Keep doing that until no stalling after throttling. Then go out on a test run and make sure you get the same under load. Also no back firing. If you do turn again firmer. Job done. 👍🏻 If the bov is opening fully on a rev or opening too soon it will not only be leaking too much boost pressure, but it will also damage your engine and turbo in time. After fitting one of these adjustable bovs. Always test it correctly and set up if required..

[@Jacob-hf7fv]

Just order one from you guys should be here tomorrow so excited !

[@Zerogivengarage]

The XR5 I believe is a turbo 2.5 duratec engine, completely different than the Ecoboost 2.0 in the ST. Blow valves are work the same in principle but I doubt the installation process will be the same.

[@NazzBharaca]

Nice install, I really like the sound of that BOV.

[@Cookingforthemissus]

Ok where to start. This video is amazing and shows you how to replace the valve and makes it look super simple on the lift and head hight. Word of warning ⚠️ I have just done this and what the video doesn’t show you is doing it on a Jack is 1000x harder. It took me 4 1/2 hours to do and ripped my arms to shreds. The hole you have to work through is about 6 inches each side and it’s so far into the engine bay that you will struggle to reach and see what you are doing. It’s worth doing but don’t think it’s as easy as the video shows because it is not. Credit to the video to show you how to do it but if you are a novice and not used to working on cars I would be careful as it’s harder than it looks.

[@Zerogivengarage]

The softer you set the spring the louder the BOV will usually be

[@gangtar77]

does that mean less boost too?

[@carlosfernandohuertaavila5928]

Exist relationship between louder to pressure???

[@slipvayneknot]

I just purchased this from your guys shop! Let me say! This is not big guy friendly! 6'5 330lbs.! Managed to take off the BPV but cannot install the BOV to save my life! Poor ST going to sit in drive way until something comes about!

[@aintnunbutapenut]

Mark Snyder lol im sure you can kidnap a smaller guy and have him finish off your build.

[@Rodney883]

I just put this on my car way louder than I expected I love it but if you are installing this it is a pain in the ass with the wrong tools make sure you have all the tools I recommend after doing it a three inch extension and a 5 inch 6 inch is to long and a swivel would help also

[@soundvillage9637]

Just ordered it it but sid they would it ship to cailfornia so went on at different site and now it’s on its way :)

[@Anyjuans]

We just installed this on my stepson’s car. Everything looks good. But he just told me he messed with the settings before we installed this. How do you know how, when and if it needs to be adjusted?

[@johnathandavid8160]

When under low pressure it seems like it doesn't shut fast enough it's releases air and then when the rpms go down it finally shuts. Is that normal or does it need to be tighter ?

[@GoodChicken01]

SOTHICK RICK to my knowledge, a harder spring will cause it to hold more pressure, giving you a “sharper hiss” while a softer spring holds less pressure, giving you a “less sharp” noise

[@brandonhernandez3194]

How do you make sure this is tuned right? I just bought one and will be taking it in on Saturday and want to make sure that it is adjusted the right way.

[@eddiehawk5.0]

i recently put this on but i only get flutter to pshh, is there any wrong

[@Zerogivengarage]

George We have done sound clips on all the systems we have installed and even did a video with three options right in one video. Take a look and choose the sound that you like the best

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

how many turns out from all the way tight (hardest spring setting) should the valve adjustment be for stock turbo/tune? My car is bone stock and I want to make sure the system vents just as much as the stock BPV so I dont run into an overboost condition.

[@Zerogivengarage]

There are no downsides to installing on a stock Focus ST.

[@UrbanRican74]

Bill Tumas ... Hi with this. BOV ... Can I get the flutter sound ... I heard that deleting the BOV u get the flutter sound .. But I also heard that this Dual BOV u can also get it ... I'm kind new to this first car buying turbo and love that flutter sound .... Thanks in advance. .. Like yours videos

[@yrmoma]

The flutter sound is a bad thing. You don't want it if you want your motor to be reliable.

[@greenespirit4973]

yrmoma flutter sound can be made by a bypass valve instead if thats what you want but only at low rpms

[@sategllib2191]

@@UrbanRican74 deleting the recirculation valve or bov would destroy your turbo real quick

[@loganloganloganable]

Will this void factory warranty

[@PreLives22]

Just installed this using the video as a guide, thanks for the great information.

[@CyberGMonster]

So all you have to do is remove the passenger side wheel to do this job!? You guys made it look so easy but according to some they said it was a pita trying to install the new bov in such a tight spot. Also, this can adjust to 100% recirculate right?

[@dingusmagee3326]

I know you can make the adjustment for altitude, but can you also adjust it to tune how loud/aggressive the blow off sound is?

[@Zerogivengarage]

The softer you make it, the louder it gets

[@dingusmagee3326]

Thank you for the reply Bill. That's good to hear, I want to have some blow off valve noise, but I don't want it to be super obnoxious, so hopefully I can tune it to get the sound I am looking for. Will adjusting the spring tension softer or harder cause any issues? Like is there an optimal setting, and could I be robbing power by turning the spring harder to make it quieter?

[@nastradamir]

the bov doesn't affect your power

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

those wheels are something special alright. Special just like the owner.

[@XELADRIFT]

Thanks a lot man, i'm 16 and did this by myself! Subscribing for sure!

[@Jezreel74]

Great vid, thanks!! Your last comment you say that it adds boost and sound, what do you mean by "it adds boost?" Makes the car accelerate faster? I mean, other than the cool sound it makes, would there be a noticable difference in performance perhaps?

[@martinvalencia3192]

Planning on buying those from you guys but I have one question, how much more different is the install on a 2016 Focus st?

[@Jdewar93]

Martin Valencia should be identical. Power train hasn’t changed at all on the “facelift” STs

[@lrepicky22]

Is that silver bracket on top or under neath?

[@magp1e13131]

Hi guys can u please tell me what other upgrades where installed on this st at the time the recirculating valve went in. Picked up my st3 couple days ago and already tweaking. Awesome videos man. Thanks

[@semtem2528]

Very nice vids, greetings from Cologne/Germany ;)

[@kimboslicefan78]

i hear a hissing from this bov.. occasionally it goes away and full boost is given, but most of the time it sounds like it's partially open... do i just need to take out the bov and clean it? or do you think it's some other issue?

[@raffess1]

Hi Cj Parts good video. If i left the valve the most "soft"as possible this will cause any lost of power in the enginge?

[@Zerogivengarage]

Full soft can cause issues, if the valve cannot close you will bleed off boost.

[@raffess1]

thank you for the reply. did you leave the valve more soft or hard?

[@chairman2834]

Hi CJ PONY PARTS I'm am about to upgrade to an focus ST3 2015 as i cant wait for the RS any longer and would like to know if this BOV can be fitted in the same way to a British car version & can i get one from your web site and get it delivered to London.

[@realaveragegamer3053]

Just got my focus st tuned, turns out plate goes on top not bottom. I had a boost leak. I'm making 23lbs now

[@jahuntouchable]

Can I do this to my 2014 Taurus sho? I'm looking to give it more boost as we'll. but I'm not too sure where the by pass valve is located in her. Any help would be appreciated.

[@JoseReyes-be9ru]

Why do some people says it’s best to hook it up to a true vacuum line from the sound symposer delete? Opinions? Or is it just so it won’t be as loud?

[@ThatOneGuysRoommate]

Is there any real difference between hard or soft other than sound when putting this valve in? I don't want to put on the max soft setting or vice versa and end up hurting my engine and/or turbo.

[@kyleriley2487]

Hello, I have had this part on my ST for over a year now. Worked perfectly fine until recently. It used to make the turbo sound that is shown in the video, but now it doesn't even make a noise anymore. In order for me to hear it, I have to really step on the throttle and release. I'm not exactly sure what is causing the BOV to stop working out of no where. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@Shaner9er]

so this fits the volvo c30... could you guys make a video on installation for it?

[@brianleach1866]

Shaner9er any clue if it would fit a 2004 saab 93?

[@sms294]

CJ you are the man

[@mjudecollins]

Thanks for another great video Bill. Is there a specific model number for the BoV unit you installed? I checked the TurboSmart website but they don't appear to have an ST specific model.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Jude the link is above right below the published date, it will take you right to the part on our website.

[@muska0213]

Hello. My Focus ST has been installed the Superchips Bluefin before.The turbo boost is higher than the stock settings.Is the dual port bov installing need to set the spring harder(tighter)?How harder should be? Please help me to set the bov's spring.

[@Zerogivengarage]

The softer setting will open easier and bleed pressure like its supposed to. If you have it on the hardest setting it will not open as easily but the air will still be recirculated so you will not hurt anything.

[@karkoor]

Bill Tumas so basically u can adjust whether u choose to vent to atmosphere or basically go fully to the hardest setting and it would act like the stock bypass valve right ?

[@takodahill7789]

Won’t you get surge by doing so? Won’t it cause pressure to go back to the turbine? Causing the Stututu sound and screwing up your turbo.

[@Darylrb1983]

So, if that top part that the vacuum line goes into isn’t tight (connection moves freely) that’ll cause a leak and fluttering under wide open throttle?

[@merrichoang]

DOers this Dual Port and the Kompact Plump back from turbo smart have the same performance? And will you be doing a video on Turbo smart actuator soon?

[@iguardwisconsinberry8830]

My tuner installed this yesterday on my fusion 2.0 and he set the 'hardness' as far over as it can go. Is that a bad thing? I noticed when I floored it I kinda got a whoosh sound but it starts to hesitate at 5100rpm and when I went to overtake a vehicle it kinda jumped before accelerating. Should I turn it a little to the softer side??? Thanks in advance this has been a real headache

[@ronmullins8208]

Could this cause a check engine light to come on? I have a dealership blaming this part for causing my check engine light to come on.

[@PantherPrideWHS]

I am having trouble getting the sound to come out smooth how exactly do I adjust the bov and how do I know how far it's suppose to turn?

[@oprzgamer2594]

I’m having the same problem did u fix it?

[@SlideRow]

i guess will work on the 2012 too right?

[@jonlau3918]

Yeah, requires some wiggling around to get this installed...done much worse for sure. But having that adjustable extension would of helped greatly. Sounds great though. Not sure why people think it sounds too loud. I think it's perfect.

[@sirhux]

Subscribed. Great videos.

[@jovanieespinoza2258]

Brought a used one of these and was wondering if they require an O-ring?

[@brave0nej]

Installed this on my sweet 13 Escape 2.0 ... badazz!!

[@MrHnnnnnnnngh]

How soft or hard should mine be living in the Northeast?

[@Sizzleator]

Why didn't you show how to adjust the dual port BOV to softer and harder and have the sound for each.

[@carlosgomez7831]

I bought a focus but for the bov to sound it has to reach 4000rpm, how can I make it sound at 3000?

[@wvusquatch]

Can you explain the harder and softer settings? I a getting ready to replace these in my 2012 F-150. I live in Georgia

[@Zerogivengarage]

You can adjust for different pressure. Softer will open up easier for lower pressure. Best thing to do is adjust them until the truck idles properly and leave them alone. Some people like setting the spring soft so it blows off all the time.

[@ThatOneGuysRoommate]

Thanks for the info! One other thing, if its on the softest setting, then will the ECU be more likely to turn on a check engine, or is the ECU just looking for confirmation that the air is being recirculated. And if the car you have this on has an aftermarket cold air intake like the COBB or an Ingen, will the chance of an ECU check engine be more likely? Sorry for all the tedious questions, want to really know what I'm getting before I get it to make sure that there is no problems.

[@Zerogivengarage]

I would not go full soft but I don't think it will really hurt. The car in the video has a cold air kit installed and is set fairly loose with no issues.

[@ThatOneGuysRoommate]

Thanks a million! Got one from you guys on the way!

[@GavinHadden-wm3uy]

I installed my BOV yesterday and mine doesn't give me that normal tssss sound that it makes in this video. Rather it sounds like its struggling to take in air and/or release air. Any advice on what to do?

[@cjponyparts]

You can turn the body of the valve to adjust. loosen until its about to stall and then 1/4 - 1/2 turn tight and you should be good. Its probably too tight right now.

[@pucex2]

Does the orientation of the actual component matter? Which side should the venting part be facing?

[@andrewdixon8405]

Will this fit on a 2015 ford taurus SHO. If not can you please add some suggestions. Thank you

[@Zerogivengarage]

Matt Not at all, its a much higher quality part than the factory piece.

[@getherdone161]

Install was pretty easy just some trouble lining the bolts up at first. Just have a quick question any replies would help. Should I tighten the valve a little more because it goes off a little early it seems like. I have a smooth idle so in just wondering if tightening it will make it blow off a little higher rpm.

[@Zerogivengarage]

getherdone a Yes tightening the spring will make it hold more pressure

[@getherdone161]

Bill Tumas thank you for the reply im about to tighten up the spring in a little bit. And also It would blow off even using cruise control doing about 75 and then dropping it down to 70 it would blow off even without any boost

[@Santito1122]

Hey Bill, Which way is the flat side of this BOV supposed to face? In the "Spool" video you made you made a comment to have the flat side facing up on the turbo. Does this hold true for the Dual port BOV?

[@lilreddy6669]

Did you ever figure out what side the flat faces? 7 years later trying to figure why the car makes a terrible noise after I installed it.

[@jakeshaffer3734]

should it make noise at idle if the vacuum hose isn’t attached?

[@mauriceGp17]

Full recirculate or 50/50?, I also read that It's posible to calibrate it to a 75/15 or something like that. Which one it's better or there isn't really any performance benefit on each calibration, it's just the valve noise.

[@Zerogivengarage]

There are arguments on both sides but since it is metered air there are benefits to recirculation.

[@keithdavis85]

I just installed on my 15' focus st. I've adjusted the BOV to about 4 turns past all the way soft to get the car to idle properly.. I am hearing a fluttering sound, and not the whoosh sound the BOV is supposed to make. It sounds like I still have the factory BPV installed.. What's going on?! It's installed with the flat part of the BOV facing to the upper left if your looking at it. My car is still making boost, I don't think I have any leaks, I don't see any hissing or sounds coming from the BOV.. Any ideas?!?!

[@MiKoRoGoD]

quick question. installed this bov today. it's no where near as loud as yours in the video. I've left it at the stock setting. would I possibly need to tighten the spring a little? car idles great. it's just quiet.

[@MiKoRoGoD]

note: boost holds as well. vac line is on and tight.

[@Zerogivengarage]

+Derek Dechy if it is working right I would leave it along but you can tighten it up if you want

[@focusonme8498]

So what if you are running a stock st but decided to go a little softer then factory will my car run a little rich ? Cuz it pshh just shifting it at 3k

[@jackmmarsden]

What’s the difference in changing the tip to a vertical point?

[@ollidrog7]

in what setting is 50/50 ? hard or soft? what is the best setting for the most loud sound from the bov? thanks

[@brandonbraswell7216]

Hello, So I installed this on my 2016 fusion 2.0 and I am hearing sounds of like "whooshing" while i am using the throttle. Is this the cause of a leak? I feel like it might be. I accidentally installed the bracket under the bov rather than on top of it will that matter? I know the intake adds sound because when I had just the intake on it would whistle under acceleration/throttle but now it adds a second sound that like I said sounds like a "whooshing" sound. any suggestions? thanks so much!

[@XxlargemanxX]

so if i were to do this to mine, and something were to go wrong, would i be able to swap the factory back on for warranty?

[@jbailey1187]

Yes. Absolutely. Just make sure you keep the original one and remember which way the pieces go.

[@kingbiggz86]

I have a mazdaspeed 6 do I need to tune the ecu to install and run a bov properly or will it be fine with the factory ecu settings?

[@alexulloa8175]

We’re do you suggest the setting to be for a focus st with just a catback

[@balut_2583]

Do you need to reprogram anything after installation? or does it require or needs to be tuned after the installation?

[@IIISWILIII]

nope

[@alanh2920]

Pretty new to the car mod world but do you all know if replacing the stock valve with something like this voids your warranty?

[@seekerfpv]

What exhaust did that ST had? Sounds really nice and that is really hard to get on our cars...

[@matthewmartin9638]

Agreed. I want to know what exhaust is on this focus. Only exhaust I've heard on an ST I liked.

[@Zerogivengarage]

Matthew Martin At that time it had a Flowmaster Exhaust only.

[@alreadytracer8864]

What setting should we have the valve at if we are just using it with an unmodified car?

[@okaythen0016]

any downside if I add the BOV to a totally stock focus ST? (lower MPG, not good for engine etc)

[@hijackerjou]

If i set it too soft or too hard is the car’s performance going to suffer ?

[@zachchappell3613]

Do you just keep spinning it to the right(Harder) to change it to 75 Divert/25 Blow Off? Or is there a specific number of turns. Thanks for all the videos, your a big help dude and I will continue to keep watching your videos and upgrading my Focus ST!

[@Zerogivengarage]

You turn the collar all the way down and then it just becomes a recirc valve. If the collar isn't all the way down then its 50/50 no matter where you set it, the harder/softer setting is an adjustment for boost, elevation, etc. Best to set it all the way soft where the o ring is visible. Start the car and rev it up and release, turn towards the harder setting until you can do that without the car stalling or hunting for idle

[@zachchappell3613]

Bill Tumas So if i still want it to Blow Off but be alittle harder than 50/50 just keep turning right but make sure its not all the way right so the car doesnt lose power or die? Will what im trying to do hurt the turbo or the car in any way? I know the BOV is meant to be able to do this, I just want to make sure that it will be ok. Thanks again man!

[@Zerogivengarage]

Zachery Chappell The spring is to adjust tension for the blow off valve, you aren't going to necessarily hurt anything but you want the pressure correct so the car doesn't stall and idles like it should

[@zachchappell3613]

Bill Tumas Thanks allot for the help brother. You have been a real big help. Since ive been watching your videos I have purchased the Cobb intake, Downpipe, Shifter Knobb, Rear Engine Mount. Flowmasters American Thunder Exhaust and the Justins Performance BOV! Keep up the good work man!

[@angelodeita4605]

I have this for my 2016 focus, but I had no idea that its illegal to have that here in California and now I can't pass my smog test. I've also gotten rid of the stock valve (because I didn't think I needed it) and I can't find the part anywhere. Has anyone else had this problem?
