GFB DV+ Diverter Valve BMW 1 Series/2 Series/3 Series/4 Series (N20 Engine)
GFB is well known among European turbo owners for solving factory diverter valve failures with a smarter engineering fix rather than a wholesale replacement. This DV+ unit is a direct fit upgrade for the BMW N20 platform, addressing the well documented plastic piston and diaphragm failures that plague these engines once boost or temperature increases.
This listing covers the BMW 220i/228i F22, 320i/328i F30/F31/F34/F35, 420i/428i F32/F33/F36, 520i/528i F10/F11/F07, X1 E84, X3 F25, X4 F26, Z4 E89, and M2 F87 (N55 engine) fitted with the N20 style factory diverter valve.
Note: Installation typically requires loosening the turbo manifold to access the factory diverter valve, so allow extra time for fitment.
Key Features
- Retains the factory solenoid coil for seamless ECU integration
- Replaces weak plastic valve components with an anodised billet aluminium housing and brass piston
- Unique pilot-actuated valve mechanism for rapid, progressive response under boost
- Eliminates compressor surge and turbo flutter
- No vacuum hose rerouting or ballast resistor required
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your vehicle's model, chassis and build year before ordering.
