Description
Upgrade your turbocharged Mitsubishi's boost control system with the COBB Tuning LF Bypass Valve (BPV), designed for compatible 2008–2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and 2009–2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart models. Engineered to handle high boost pressure while maintaining reliable sealing, this compact, lightweight bypass valve is an excellent upgrade for street-driven and performance-focused vehicles.
The COBB LF Bypass Valve features an updated internal design that reduces control volume by 30%, allowing faster response when venting excess boost pressure. Its lightweight moving components have less inertia than heavier designs, helping the valve respond quickly when activated.
A redesigned banjo-fitting vacuum port provides 360-degree hose-routing adjustability, simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points associated with traditional threaded ports. The updated piston O-ring seal is twice the diameter of the previous design, providing greater seal compression and helping reduce wear.
The revised spring and seal design also delivers a 60% increase in clamping force at peak boost while maintaining similar operation at idle and during transient loads. Unlike some adjustable bypass valves, the LF BPV does not require spring-seat adjustment.
Designed to recirculate pressurized intake air back into the intake tract, the COBB LF Bypass Valve helps maintain proper operation of the turbocharged engine management system. According to COBB Tuning, installing this valve does not require additional tuning when used in a compatible application.
