Courtenay Sport, working with Turbosmart UK and Australia, have been involved with the development and testing of a new version of the popular Kompact Shortie Recirculation Valve specifically for the 1.6 turbocharger, used for Corsa D, Astra H, Astra J, Meriva A, Insignia, Zafira B and Zafira C 1.6 Turbo engines.

We are pleased to announce that an uprated recirculation valve is now available for the 1.6 Vauxhall/Opel turbocherged engine using the K03 turbocharger, following on from the success of the valve produced for K04/K06 applications.

Turbosmart Kompact Shortie Series Recirculation Valves have been specifically designed to suit BorgWarner EFR and KKK turbos.

Unlike the standard, plastic valves that use un-reinforced rubber diaphragms and are known to crack or split under increased boost, the new BW/KKK Kompact valves uses an O-Ring sealed piston which, coupled with their billet aluminium construction give them over 30PSI of boost handling capability using a single spring and increased reliabity over the factory valve.

Designed as a bolt-on direct replacement replacement for the factory valve on all BorgWarner EFR, KKK turbos, the Kompact Shortie Plumb Back provides better boost response and greater boost handling capability than the factory fitted recirculation valve.

Included with each Kompact Shortie kit is:

  • 1 x Model Specific Valve
  • 1 x Straight Nipple
  • 1 x Banjo Nipple
  • 3 x Mounting screws

Finished Anodised Black as shown. This recirculation valve is a really nicely machined and finished item, with a quality look and feel about it.
