Product Details
The Turbosmart Kompact EM Blow-Off Valve Replacement Solenoid (TS-0223-3003) is a genuine Turbosmart electronic replacement component designed to restore proper operation to compatible Kompact EM (Electro-Mechanical) blow-off valves.
Featuring Turbosmart's high-speed electronic solenoid technology, this replacement assembly provides a convenient solution for repairing a damaged, malfunctioning, or nonresponsive Kompact EM blow-off valve without replacing the complete valve assembly.
Unlike traditional pneumatic blow-off valves that rely on a manifold vacuum reference and mechanical spring arrangement, Turbosmart's Kompact EM range utilizes an electronically controlled solenoid to operate the valve in response to the vehicle's factory electronic control system.
The TS-0223-3003 is designed to integrate with compatible Turbosmart Kompact EM valves and includes the necessary wiring loom and connector for the supported original equipment electrical connection.
This replacement solenoid is compatible with specified VR3, VR5, VR8, VR15, VR26, and VR31 Kompact EM Dual Port and Plumb Back blow-off valves.
Whether repairing an electronic blow-off valve fault, restoring proper turbocharger pressure relief operation, or servicing an existing Turbosmart Kompact EM installation, the Turbosmart TS-0223-3003 Replacement Solenoid provides genuine replacement compatibility and dependable electronic valve operation.
Important: This is an application-specific replacement solenoid, not a universal electronic blow-off valve solenoid. VR26 and VR31 applications require two replacement kits.

Genuine Turbosmart Kompact EM Replacement Solenoid
The TS-0223-3003 is designed to replace the electronic solenoid assembly on compatible Turbosmart Kompact EM blow-off valves.
The replacement allows owners to retain their existing valve body and other serviceable components while replacing the solenoid responsible for electronic actuation.
Using the correct Turbosmart replacement solenoid helps maintain the intended electrical connection and operating characteristics.
Electro-Mechanical Blow-Off Valve Operation
Turbosmart's Kompact EM blow-off valves use electronic control rather than a conventional manifold vacuum-operated mechanism.
The vehicle's electronic control system sends a command to the valve solenoid.
The solenoid responds to this signal, allowing the blow-off valve to operate according to the vehicle's control strategy.
This arrangement allows the Kompact EM valve to integrate with compatible factory electronic diverter valve systems.
The TS-0223-3003 restores this electronic actuation function when the original solenoid has failed.
Compatible Kompact EM Valve Variants
Turbosmart identifies the TS-0223-3003 as suitable for the following valve variants:
Kompact EM VR3
Compatible Dual Port configurations.
Compatible Plumb Back configurations.
One replacement kit for a single-solenoid valve.
Kompact EM VR5
Compatible Dual Port configurations.
Compatible Plumb Back configurations.
One replacement kit for a single-solenoid valve.

Two TS-0223-3003 kits required.
Kompact EM VR31
Compatible Dual Port configurations.
Compatible Plumb Back configurations.
Two TS-0223-3003 kits required.
Always verify the exact valve variant before ordering.
VR26 and VR31 Installation Requirements
Turbosmart specifies that VR26 and VR31 applications require two replacement kits.
The TS-0223-3003 is sold as an individual replacement solenoid kit.
For these applications, order the quantity required to service the complete valve arrangement.
Do not assume that one package includes both solenoids.
Included Wiring Loom and Connector
The TS-0223-3003 includes the wiring loom and electrical connector required for its supported application.
The connector is designed to match the appropriate original equipment electrical interface.
This helps simplify replacement while maintaining compatibility with the existing control system.
Because Turbosmart uses different electrical connections across its Kompact EM range, the TS-0223-3003 should not be considered a universal replacement for every EM valve.
Dual Port Blow-Off Valve Compatibility
Turbosmart Kompact EM Dual Port valves combine atmospheric discharge and recirculation functions.
The electronic solenoid controls valve actuation, while the valve body determines the discharge configuration.
Replacing the solenoid does not change the Dual Port valve's physical discharge arrangement.
Plumb Back Blow-Off Valve Compatibility
Kompact EM Plumb Back valves return discharged compressed air to the turbocharger intake system.
These configurations are commonly used where retaining the original recirculation arrangement is desirable.
The TS-0223-3003 is compatible with the specified Plumb Back variants and restores electronic actuation when the original solenoid is defective.

Important Compatibility Restrictions
Turbosmart offers multiple replacement solenoids for different Kompact EM valve variants.
The TS-0223-3003 is not interchangeable with every Kompact EM solenoid.
Other Turbosmart replacement solenoid part numbers include:
TS-0223-3001: Compatible with VR1 and VR4.
TS-0223-3002: Compatible with various VR2, VR7, VR11, VR13, VR18, and VR22 applications.
TS-0223-3005: Compatible with VR9.
TS-0223-3006: Compatible with VR10.
Always match the replacement solenoid to the installed valve's Turbosmart part number.
Electronic Solenoid Failure Symptoms
A malfunctioning Kompact EM solenoid may contribute to:
Blow-off valve failure to open.
Blow-off valve failure to close properly.
Inconsistent pressure relief operation.
Unusual turbocharger pressure behavior.
Electronic diverter valve-related diagnostic trouble codes.
Intermittent valve operation.
Loss of expected blow-off valve response.
These symptoms can also result from wiring faults, damaged connectors, mechanical valve problems, or vehicle control system issues.
Proper diagnosis should be performed before replacing the solenoid.
