Forge Motorsport recirculation valve for Mini Cooper S R55/R56/R57

We recommend servicing the valve every 3 years or every 20,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The valve is designed for Peugeot/BMW Mini 1.6 Turbo engines, as found in the Peugeot 207/307/308 GT Turbo and BMW Mini Cooper S Turbo R56/R57 models with N14 engines. It is recommended for vehicles where boost pressure has been increased through an ECU software upgrade, as well as unmodified vehicles in warmer climates where a higher number of original valve failures occur.

The most common problem with the original solenoid valve is a cracked diaphragm, which means the valve does not open fully or does not open at all. This does not always trigger the engine warning light, as the boost pressure may still force it open. Another problem is the diaphragm’s very thin plastic retaining ring, which becomes brittle through temperature cycles and eventually fails. As a result, the diaphragm no longer seals correctly, and the valve can fall apart when removed from the turbocharger. In extreme cases, plastic fragments can enter the turbocharger and damage it.

The Forge Motorsport FM207V uses a piston design without a diaphragm that could fail and is made entirely from aluminium. It replaces the original part with a pressure- and vacuum-controlled piston valve while retaining the factory opening control via the engine control unit. The spring can be changed according to the boost pressure level, and the solenoid valve connects directly to the wiring harness. The wiring harness is included.
