This means you get all the noise of the blow off valve whilst retaining the compatibility with the recirculation requirements of the engine management system. As a bonus we also offer the ability to convert the valve to recirculation only mode for those times when stealth running is required.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⭐ Clear instructions and overall a great product, best on the market ⭐\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis valve \u003cstrong\u003euses a brass piston\u003c\/strong\u003e which utilises new sealing technology along with a variable spring preload, incorporating a ratchet type top adjuster that will allow for the positive and precise adjustment to match the valve to your engine. This is achieved by using a unique single, conical, progressive rate spring, that can allow for the retention of boost pressure over a wide adjustment range. This unique spring design also allows for unrestricted piston travel and flow volume regardless of the amount of pre-load adjustment added to the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther manufacturers' valves use cylindrical springs with adjustable pre-load, which often experience restricted piston travel and a reduction in flow volume.
