The Turbosmart TS-0225-1001 Vee Port EM is a billet aluminum replacement for the factory electronic blow off valve on Ford F-150 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost trucks and the EcoBoost Raptor. It plugs into the factory connector, runs off the factory ECU signal, and swaps the stock plastic valve internals for a hard anodized 38 mm piston that holds boost instead of bleeding it.
The factory valve on these trucks uses plastic parts and a rubber diaphragm, and over time they wear, crack or start to leak. When that happens the turbos have to work harder to make the same boost, throttle response gets soft between shifts, and a tuned truck can see boost fall short of target. Turbosmart's EM design keeps the factory electronic control but replaces the internals with a machined billet body and piston, so the valve opens and closes exactly when the ECU tells it to and seals when it is closed.
Installation is a direct swap. The factory valve twists out of its bayonet style mount, the Vee Port EM goes in its place, and the factory electrical plug connects to it. There is nothing to cut, splice or reprogram. Because it uses the factory signal, the truck behaves like stock with a healthier valve, whether it is stock or tuned.
What's included
Why billet instead of another factory valve
A new factory valve fixes a leak, but it is built from the same materials that failed the first time. The Vee Port EM uses a machined body and a hard anodized piston that will not crack or perish with heat cycles, and the design is patented by Turbosmart in the US and Australia. It is a one time fix for a known wear item on high mileage and tuned EcoBoost trucks.
Common questions
Do I need a tune? No. The valve is controlled by the factory ECU through the stock connector, so it works on stock and tuned trucks.
Will it fit my 2014 F-150 3.5L EcoBoost? Yes. Turbosmart lists it for the 3.5L EcoBoost from 2013 on, the 2.7L EcoBoost and the EcoBoost Raptor.
