GFB Mach 2 Recirculating Plumb Back BOV Blow Off Valve
GFB's Mach 2 is a direct bolt-on replacement for your factory bypass valve, built around GFB's proven TMS technology to help the engine return to peak boost up to 30% faster than the standard diverter valve. If you don't need the adjustable venting bias of the Respons or Deceptor Pro, the Mach 2 delivers the core boost holding and throttle response benefits in a simpler package for your Subaru WRX or STI.
This listing covers the recirculating (plumb back) version for the WRX 01-07, STI 01-21 (covering V1-V10 generations), and Forester XT 06-08. It installs as a straight swap for the factory valve with no extra adaptors or vehicle mods required. Atmosphere venting conversion kits are available separately if you want an audible blow off sound.
Note: Forester XT fitment requires the triangle flange BOV. Diamond flange equipped vehicles will need the T9500 model instead — check your factory BOV flange shape before ordering.
Key Features
- 100% recirculating (plumb back) configuration for factory-like operation

Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your Subaru's model year and BOV flange type before ordering.
