V2 Juke Diverter Valve upgrade - Turbosmart Kompact EM BOV??

Okay, so, update on this. The valve I ordered is has the holes EVER SO SLIGHTLY off from the oem one. Now, with that said, the rest of the part measures all the same. So it will fit. I have no doubt about that. It will require modifying the holes and opening them up to make it work, and will require re-using the OEM bolts with the addition of washers.

The other issue is the connector is not the same. At all. The internal resistance matches the internal resistance used for the jumper pack on the mechanical valves, so electronically it will work fine. It will require tapping into the OEM wiring to hook it up. It would come pre-set-up for doing that. So similar to how with the mechanical one, you have to tap into the oem plug for the resistor pack, you will just do that using the wires off the valve. It would cost far far far too much for me to get custom connectors made up.

I will see about including a small section of black conduit cover to go over the oem connector so it still appears stock.

I will be modifying this valve today and sending it out to our test car for some test driving.

Turbosmart does a very good job of NOT showing the connectors in their images. So, IF they have one with the right connector, i would have to buy thousands of dollars in valves to find it. That is an expensive IF. As for the holes, the valve I got is the closest in images. I traced the holes in the images into my cad software and overlaid a 3d model of the oem valve onto them by changing the models angles until it was at the angle of the photos. So, IF they have one with the right flange, I would again have to order them all to find it. So I personally think this is the best match. Just sharing how I came to these results.

The aluminum on the EM valves is twice the thickness of the normal kompacts. So. Even with the bolt being slightly off-set and the material removed, it will not have any issues with moving around. I got two of these valves, and the first on I cut half the holes out and bolted it down to a scrap piece of aluminum I had, and I yanked on it with everything I had and it didn't budge. Just in case anyone was wondering about the missing material.

Assuming this work, and does not have any issues during the 500 mile test drive, they will be sold for $279.99 and only available in a 50/50.

Here is the final product:

The test valve was installed today. The customer had to use some hardware they had laying about, as they dropped two of the bolts down onto their subframe. So, the bolts you see on the valve are not what will be coming with it. It requires removing the harness support bracket to allow room for the wires. But it fits. The car was driven a bit today. But we will not have this for sale until we get at least a few hundred test miles on it. It is SIGNIFICANTLY louder than the mechanical ones.

odds are you where having an issue with yours prior. This is 100 times louder than stock...since stock is supposed to be silent.

Definitely louder! I was hitting another issue: once the Intercooler piping pressure was getting to a certain point I can only imagine it too was leaking. I made too many changes at once. I did the diverter and the Intercooler piping darn near the same time. When I went to test the diverter, initially, it felt much more responsive at lower “driving to work” speeds. Acceleration was more snappy, but if I did an engine load test and put the throttle anbout half way down or more while the CVT was doing it’s overdrive thing it sounded the same as stick lock. But once I gave it my very first hard punch, I blew the Intercooler pipe off of the throttle body lol. I took it back home, and gave things a good torque and now the diverter is not just hissing but doing a louder and fuller “Psshhhhh” when I let off. I’ll have sound clips incoming this weekend, if we don’t get pounded by snow in the Midwest here. It’s supposedly starting today. I like to do these things on a Sunday morning when nobody is on the interstate or all queued to get into the on-ramps. I have a cheap set of lavalier mics that I bought for the occasion. Just got to figure out how to use them lol. The diverter sounds neat at about 4500RPMs. If you can stay locked in on it it’s a neat jet fighter idling on the runway sound lol. A high frequency turbine sound. Sounds reminiscent of sitting in the last row of a smaller airliner, where the jets are positioned on the tail lol. The noise that eventually drives you mad an hour into the flight. I like it in a car though…
