This allows charge air to be recirculated around the turbo charger from the boost side back to the intake side. This recirculation path is opened and closed by means of an electrical connection from the engine management, to a solenoid that is mounted on the turbocharger housing. As you accelerate, the turbo charger vanes are spinning and boost pressure is increased, literally blowing into the engine cylinders. Then when you change gear, you take you foot off the accelerator momentarily, select the next gear, and accelerate again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs you take your foot off the accelerator the throttle valve to the engine closes. The problem here is that during this process the turbo is still spinning and the boost pressure that it is producing has no where to go. (This is a bit like putting you hand over a hair dryer so the air cannot get out) What happens at this point is the turbo starts to stall, the spinning vanes slow down (incurring alot of stress) and the boost pressure drops. When you open the throttle valve again by pushing down on the accelerator (demanding more power) the turbo has lost its momentum, boost pressure and there is a pause or a \"Lag\" before the engine is producing the required power once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo combat this loss of power and stress on the turbo, a recirculation or diverter valve is used. On the Mini, when the throttle valve closes, the engine management opens the recirculation route around the turbo. This gives the charge air an alternative route and allows the turbocharger to keep spinning so that when you accelerate again there is no \"lag\" or waiting period. This system works well and is adopted by nearly all vehicle manufacturers on turbo charged petrol engine applications. The only downside to this system is that a turbo chargers produce heat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(The hot air that leaves a turbo is cooled by passing it through an intercooler before it enters the engine. The cooler the air the more power is produced). By recirculating the hot air back into the intake side of a turbo the temperatures increase. This is where the Blow Off or Dump valve plays its part. By expelling the charge air to atmosphere rather than recirculating it, you do not increase the intake air temperature but you do allow the turbo to keep spinning. The side effect which is unacceptable to most vehicle manufacturers is the noise of the valve expelling the air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy fitting the FMDVMCS between the existing solenoid and the turbo housing (this involves removing only 3 bolts) the air is re-directed to atmosphere rather than recirculated. It should be noted that the engine management also uses this valve to decrease engine power when necessary. An example of this is by the (DSC) Dynamic Stability Control system. Although you would not normally hear this occurring, when a blow off adaptor is fitted you may well hear the air being expelled when the DSC operates (going too fast around a bend for example).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Box\u003cbr\u003e1 x FMDVMCS Adaptor\u003cbr\u003e3 x Socket Cap Bolts\u003cbr\u003e1 x Instructions\u003cbr\u003e1 x Forge Sticker","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53916129132885,"sku":"FMDVMCS","price":64.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/1569\/0069\/files\/forge-motorsport-blow-off-adaptor-mini-r55-56-57-cooper-s-07-on-n14-engine-1370-p.jpg?v=1778666424"},{"product_id":"forge-motorsport-replacement-recirculation-valve-and-kit-mini-r55-56-57-cooper-s-07-on-n14-engine","title":"Forge Motorsport Replacement Recirculation Valve and Kit - Mini R55\/56\/57 Cooper S 07-on N14 Engine","description":"Product Description:\u003cbr\u003eThis valve is for the BMW Mini 1.6 Turbo engines, as found in the BMW Mini Cooper S Turbo R56\/57 models with the N14 engines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMini R56 Cooper S 1598ccm 174HP 128KW\u003cbr\u003eMini R56 John Cooper Works 1598ccm 211HP 155KW\u003cbr\u003eMini R57 Cooper S 1598ccm 174HP 128KW\u003cbr\u003eMini R57 John Cooper Works 1598ccm 211HP 155KW\u003cbr\u003eMini Clubman R55 Cooper S 1598ccm 174HP 128KW\u003cbr\u003eMini Clubman R55 John Cooper Works 1598ccm 192HP 141KW\u003cbr\u003eMini Clubman R55 John Cooper Works 1598ccm 211HP 155KW\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis solution is recommended for any vehicle where the boost pressure has been increased by an ECU software upgrade, and for unmodified vehicles operating in warmer climates, as a solution to the many failures that have occurred. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most common complaint on the OEM solenoid valve is a split diaphragm, which prevents the valve from opening fully, or not at all.
