The Kia Stinger GT has been changing people’s perception of the Korean brand. With the Stinger platform being a powerful and stylish vehicle, any aftermarket modification needs to live up to that standard. Agency Power Dual Adjustable Blow Off Valve System for the Kia Stinger GT is a great solution to release the pressure and keep the turbocharger spooled up between shifts. This is an excellent way to improve boost response from the 3.3L twin turbocharged engine. Agency Power developed this new blow off valve kit to replace the OEM valves with a machined flange to match perfectly to the factory charge pipe. The dual BOVs use Agency Power's popular design of always focusing on adjustability. By installing these blow off valves, you will improve boost response over the factory valves, prolong the life of the turbos, and of course, get that cool swoosh sound!

The Agency Power valves are designed to be a 100% vent to atmosphere setup. Each valve is machined from 6061 billet aluminum then anodized in a stealth black finish. The top is laser engraved with the Agency Power cursive logo and directions for adjusting. When the top of the valve rotates, this allows you to adjust the spring tension for your application. You can set the valve to easily vent off pressure or be stiffer to only vent at maximum PSI. These features make the dual adjustable Blow Off Valves easy to install and adjust.

If you want your Kia Stinger GT to have that great blow off valve sound, this Agency Power kit will give it to you! During acceleration, you will hear the WHOOOOOSH between shifts and draw attention to how much horsepower you have! As an OEM replacement, the style is a perfect addition to your engine bay. Once installed, this is one upgrade you will be glad you did!

Features:

  • 2 x Blow Off Valves
  • New Tubes and T Fitting
  • CNC Machined Aluminum
  • Anodized Black
  • Flange to Replace Factory Valves
  • Adjustability
  • Quick and Easy Install
  • Pro Longs Turbocharge Life
  • Great Blow-Off Valve Sound!​

Do you have an update on the intake and intercooler?
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Any questions please feel free

Weve shipped 5 sets out so far
How do you to what spring setting the BOV, there adjustable to what setting to you set them ?? i heard of people having issues with aftermarket BOV
 
What issues? Ive yet to see anyone with any BOV issues as long as they got a quality valve
turbo issues after running BOV....how do you set the BOV, are they preset when you get them,, how do you know how stiff to set them??

Youre being kind of broad

They come preset upon arrival no adjusting needed
Weve tried these at stock boost levels and even tuned levels without issue

But thats the same for these, HKS, TurboXS, and the new GFB
 
@KLR STINGER seems to know a lot about BOVs. He can probably provide some good information on the topic.
 
The issue: If the spring is too tight and there is NOT enough pressure to open the vale it stays shut or partially shut, which causes turbo flutter (this will cause premature wear of the turbo)

How to fix it: Simply if you hear your turbos fluttering simply loosen the spring to reduce spring pressure, running like this for a short period will not cause any damage (couple weeks at most). Mind you if you leave it like that for extended periods (think months and months maybe even years) it will cause premature turbo failure.

What is turbo flutter and why is it bad?: When your turbos are spinning they have turbine wheels that spin in a certain direction, think of like an airplane propeller or a jet engine. When the throttle body is shut (you take your foot off the gas) the turbines continue to spin and generate pressure so what happens is the BOV's will open to relieve this pressure and allow the turbines to keep spinning.

This is where the issue comes, if there is NO BOV or it doesn't open or adequately the pressure has no where to go except backwards so it starts spinning the turbine wheel the other way and dumps the pressure out of the intake/turbo inlet. The turbines are spinning around 70,000-120,000 RPM then ALL OF THE SUDDEN.....BAM it goes backwards, this causes extra stress on the turbo which will lead to turbine failure.

The Good: An aftermarket BOV will be able to open/react quicker then factory valves, take more PSI and speed up boost recovery after shifts.

Modifying cars: Just like any aftermarket parts designed for your engine you don't just pop it in and ignore it, you need to be mindful and monitor it for any issues so you can resolve them. Such as if you put an aftermarket intake on the car, you should be rechecking it every now and then to make sure its still snug and nothing is lose etc... Same goes with this, IT IS NOT FACTORY so you need to give a little more care to it. If you don't want to have any additional work or upkeep keep your car stock as that was how it was designed by the engineers.

Are you only speaking about aftermarket bov, or are spring adjustments possible on the stock bov’s too?

Stock BOV are designed specifically for the car its made for so I've yet to see a stock one that's adjustable.

The problem with stock ones is they start to leak at a certain point (more boost) and are usually made from plastic so they could catastrophicly fail at a certain point.

I will get my power agency BOV tomorrow ... I am so exited lol... will install and make a video of the install and review for everyone out there ... after reading this I need to make sure I adjust properly because these are adjustable

They already advised they have been preset for the Stinger.

That’s not what I was told by agency power or what the instructions say ..... I am not sure where you got that info from but I was told I need to set them up which is my concern ... I want to make sure I set them properly
