    Just a fun mod for Turbo guys who want that BOV sound. The adapter converts the factory diverter valve into a blow off valve by redirecting the compressed air from the turbo to be vented to the atmosphere.

    Easy install. Remove wheel well liners. The stock diverter valves are bolted to the top of the intercoolers with 3 allen head screws. The adapter mounts between the diverter valve and the intercooler.

    You won't get any check engine lights with it.

    I'll take and take a better video. It's hard to hear when I'm in it because my car is probably the loudest 488 around.

    Are you sure you want to modify that? Ferrari engineers have properly calculated the acceptable levels of engine noise you are allowed to hear. Lol.

    The car sounds great! But let’s get down to business: how much did the pirate hunting expedition cost?

    On the Mclarens when you do this there is a soft code triggered in the ECU. It will not trigger a CEL. Wondering if this is the same with the Ferraris
    MAF/tune expects the recirc air that is now vented to atmosphere, a rich condition will be produced which will generate more pops etc.
    The car will still perform normal.
    Where did you buy them from?

    I did some research they are the same one used for the Mercedes M177 4.0l engine. You can buy them for $20 on Aliexpress. I will try them out.
