Product Overview
Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port VR10 – Performance Blow Off Valve for MINI, Peugeot, Citroën & DS
The Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port VR10 Blow Off Valve (TS-0223-1093) is a premium performance upgrade for selected turbocharged MINI Cooper S, John Cooper Works, Peugeot, Citroën and DS vehicles using a compatible electronic diverter valve.
Engineered to improve boost retention, valve response and long-term reliability, the Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port VR10 replaces the original plastic diverter-valve assembly with a stronger billet aluminium design.
Unlike conventional aftermarket blow-off valves that may require separate vacuum hoses or solenoid connections, the Kompact EM system integrates directly with compatible factory electronic control.
The Dual Port configuration provides an audible turbo release sound while retaining partial recirculation into the air intake.
Why Choose the Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port VR10?
1. Improved Boost Sealing and Reliability
Factory plastic diverter valves can develop wear or sealing issues over time, especially where increased boost pressure is used.
Turbosmart’s Boost-Balance technology uses the pressure within the system to help maintain an effective valve seal under boost, supporting reliable turbocharger operation.
2. Plug-and-Play Electronic Integration
The Turbosmart Kompact EM VR10 includes an integrated high-temperature electronic solenoid and internal pressure-control channels.
For confirmed applications, the valve replaces the original electronic diverter valve while retaining the manufacturer’s electronic control strategy.
There is no need for a separate vacuum-operated conversion or external solenoid assembly.
3. Distinctive Dual-Port Turbo Sound
The Dual Port valve combines atmospheric venting with recirculation.
When the throttle closes and the valve opens, some excess charge air is discharged externally, creating a noticeable blow-off sound, while the remaining air is returned to the intake system.
The actual sound level depends on the vehicle, intake configuration and operating conditions.
4. Durable Billet Aluminium Construction
Built using billet aluminium, high-temperature seals and a positive-sealing piston design, the Kompact EM VR10 is designed as a more robust alternative to compatible factory plastic diverter valves.
5. Suitable for Standard and Modified Turbocharged Vehicles
The VR10 offers an upgrade option for compatible vehicles running a factory turbocharger or a modified turbo setup that retains the appropriate electronic diverter-valve mounting and control arrangement.
A blow-off valve alone does not guarantee increased horsepower. Its primary benefits are boost control, sealing performance, reliability and sound.
Turbosmart Dual Port vs Factory Diverter Valve
A factory electronic diverter valve generally recirculates released boost pressure back into the intake system.
The Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port VR10 uses a combination of recirculation and atmospheric venting.
This gives drivers the distinctive sound associated with performance blow-off valves while preserving electronic operation on compatible vehicles.
For drivers who prefer a fully recirculating configuration, Turbosmart also offers a separate VR10 Plumb Back version, part number TS-0223-1293.
Vehicle Applications – MINI Cooper S, Peugeot, Citroën and DS
The Turbosmart VR10 is intended for selected vehicles equipped with compatible factory electronic diverter valves, including:
- MINI Cooper S R55, R56 and R57 1.6 Turbo

Important: Model name and engine capacity alone do not confirm fitment. Different engine generations, turbocharger assemblies and electronic valve configurations may require different components.
Check your existing valve and Turbosmart’s application information before purchase.
Installation and Maintenance
For suitable vehicles, installation involves removing the original electronic diverter valve, fitting the Turbosmart assembly using the supplied fasteners and reconnecting the original electrical connector.
Ensure the engine is cool before installation and follow the official instructions for your application.
Installation by a qualified automotive technician is recommended.
