GFB Mach 2 Single-Port Blow-Off Valve

Ordered the BOV for my Kia cerato GT not only is the GFB Bov a much better quality item then the all plastic stock blow off valve that came on the car it has a really nice sound with the trumpet and without!

The trumpet adds a good whistle sound to it and if you remove the trumpet and leave just the original silver tube on it has a really nice psssh sound!

Install was super easy the hardest part of installing it was the limited amount of space through the top of the car so I suggest removing the bottom plastic panel and also working from there to do the bolts up on the bottom as working top down was quite difficult just because of limited room

I love that they supplied new bolts and an Allen key as it made putting it on much easier instead of having to use a ratchet or spanner

The adjustment on the top of the blow off valve was quite easy to work out as well

I’m not sure if it’s just me but the car seems to idle a lot better now on a cold start then it did previously with the stock blow off valve and seems to take off better on its first drive instead of spluttering for a couple seconds

Highly recommend this piece and I look forward to the rest of the stuff I have ordered from cherry tuning to rock up

Also massive shout out to the support team I think it was shiv I had the pleasure of speaking to he was really good and had the trunpet out for delivery within the hour of me messaging much appreciated guys you have a repeat customer keep up the good work!

The vacuum port on the BOV is actually opposite to the recirc port which is different from the pictures shown here and on the manual. See pic 1.
You just have to undo the 4 corner bolts on the BOV with a 3mm hex in a cross pattern. Make sure to hold down the top part while unscrewing as there is a spring underneath.

I ended up snapping the vacuum port on the stock valve while trying to get it off. See pics 2-4.
Eventually pulled the snapped port out of the the vacuum tube with a small flathead.

The recirc hose was impossible to get off the stock valve.
I ended up using a heatgun set to 200C and heated the hose up for ~2mins.
This made it much easier to pull off. See pic 6.

Big thanks to the support team for helping me along the way :)

Installed by Cherry Tuning along with Air Intake Kit and i20N is enhanced with faster response & great sound added. Great service by Cherry Tuning and look forward for more to add.

Installed this today, along with the BOV solenoid and can definitely feel the extra responsiveness. Took it out on some country roads for a bit of fun, and the added whoosh at higher rpm's put a smile on my face (even on the full recirc model I have) - it's quite subtle, unlike a full atmospheric vent, if that's what you're after - this will be great! Absolutely solidly built too, especially compared to the stock valve.

Direct bolt on replacement. Fitted with the BOV solenoid and the EBC solenoid. Car feels much more lively and responsive. Would recommend this part if venting to atmosphere isn’t your thing.
