The 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 is the new heart of the Jeep Wagoneer and the 2025+ Ram 1500. While this engine delivers massive power, many owners are finding the factory plastic diverter valves to be a weak point. If you are looking for the best Hurricane engine BOV options, Turbosmart has released a game-changing solution: the Kompact EM VR32.
Unlike simple “BOV spacers” on the market that retain the factory valves, the Turbosmart Kompact EM is a complete OE replacement valve. It eliminates the factory plastic unit in favor of a precision CNC machined billet aluminum valve that requires no tune and is 100% plug-and-play.
Why Upgrade Your Hurricane Engine Diverter Valve?
The factory electronic diverter valve is prone to boost “bleeding” and can even crack under high heat and pressure cycles. This is a significant issue for the Standard Output (SO) Hurricane engine, where maintaining consistent boost pressure is vital for towing and throttle response.
1. BOOST BALANCE TECHNOLOGY
The secret to Turbosmart’s reliability is their proprietary Boost Balance Technology. Traditional valves struggle to stay closed under high boost without using a heavy spring that slows down response.
With Boost Balance, the air pressure works with the valve, using the boost itself to help seal the piston. This ensures a leak-proof seal even under maximum load, resulting in sharper throttle response and elimination of “boost flutter” during towing.
Furthermore, no matter the upgrades you currently have or plan to make in the future, the Kompact EM’s will support the higher boost levels and efficiently vent the increased charge air volume without the need to change spring rates.
2. Plug-and-Play (No Tune Required)
The Kompart EM plugs directly into the factory Ram or Jeep wiring harness. The engine’s computer (ECU) sees the valve as a factory component, meaning you get high-performance hardware without the risk of “Check Engine” lights or the need for expensive aftermarket tuning.
TWO HURRICANE BOV OPTIONS: DUAL PORT VS PLUMB BACK
Turbosmart offers two distinct configurations depending on whether you want a silent sleeper or an aggressive turbo sound.
The Loud Option: Dual Port (Part No. TS-0223-1041)
If you want that iconic “Pssh” sound every time you lift off the throttle, the Dual Port is the choice for you.
- Audible vent-to-atmosphere (VTA) port.
- Staged valve body design to vent enough air for the sound while partially recirculating to satisfy OE engine parameters. The additional VTA port supports higher horsepower levels that come with modifications you may make to the vehicle.
The Silent Option: Plumb Back (Part No. TS-0223-1241)
For the owner who wants a more robust construction alternative without the noise, the Plumb Back is the ultimate “sleeper” upgrade.
- Silent, just like the factory valve.
- A direct, all-metal replacement for the fragile OE unit. It offers all the boost-holding benefits of the Dual Port but keeps the cabin quiet.
Maximum Boost, Zero Compromise
Upgrading your Ram 1500 or Jeep Wagoneer BOV is one of the smartest “supporting mods” you can do for the Hurricane engine. By replacing the plastic factory component with Turbosmart’s billet aluminum Kompact EM, you’re investing in the long-term health and responsiveness of your twin-turbo system.
