The T9488 VTA is a performance blow-off valve solution for Mercedes vehicles
If You Want Sound With Your Performance (Or Performance With Your Sound!), GFB’s T9488 VTA Delivers!
By combining atmosphere venting with the proven performance benefits of our ground-breaking DV+, the VTA delivers an aggressive blow-off sound, improved throttle response, as well as superior boost holding and reliability.
With its low-profile integrated solenoid and compact design, installing the T9488 is a breeze. Just swap out your factory diverter valve with the VTA, and you’re good to go!
Key features and benefits:
Blow off sound AND better performance
Reliable boost holding
Sharper throttle response, faster boost recovery
Low-profile integrated solenoid for seamless installation
Australian-made, backed by a lifetime warranty
T9488 is a direct bolt-on for most Mercedes turbo petrol vehicles. Twin-turbo engines typically require two valves.
Why Choose A VTA Over A “BOV Spacer”?
Whilst “BOV spacers” might offer a cheap way to get a blow-off sound, they fail to tackle the fundamental performance and reliability issues associated with the OEM diverter valve – all they do is redirect the vented air.
The VTA offers more than just sound. By replacing the OEM diverter valve you also get enhanced performance and reliability.
Reliable Boost Holding
Despite some improvements in reliability by the latest generation of OEM diverter valves, the performance trade-offs continue to grow. By locating the diverter valve on the intercooler piping rather than the turbo compressor cover, the risk of heat-related failures is reduced. However, boost leakage is significantly greater due to the plastic OEM diverter valve piston failing to seal on an uneven plastic seat.
The VTA effectively addresses this issue by incorporating an integral piston seat machined into its body, ensuring a reliable seal even on irregular plastic OEM seats.
Sharper Throttle Response, Faster Boost Recovery
OEM electronic diverter valves are binary in operation – they’re either open or shut. Your throttle, however, isn’t. When you make small throttle adjustments, the binary operation of the factory diverter results in abrupt changes in power delivery, which is the very definition of poor throttle response.
GFB’s “pilot actuation” system allows the VTA’s piston to open and close progressively, thereby smoothing the power delivery during throttle modulation, and ultimately improving throttle response.
Unrivalled Longevity, Backed By Our Lifetime Warranty
The combination of precision manufacturing, attention to detail, and robust materials means the VTA will last a lifetime. So does the warranty!

Een passie voor auto's. Niet iedereen snapt het... maar wij wel. Wij begrijpen de autocultuur als geen ander omdat we er deel van uitmaken. En dat doen we al meer dan 20 jaar als bedrijf. We bezoeken evenementen, werken aan auto's en zetten trends. We maken al jaren deel uit van deze community - fijn dat u zich bij ons hebt aangesloten
Wij begrijpen dat auto's veel meer zijn dan een eenvoudig vervoermiddel. Wij beschouwen auto's als een manier van leven, de brullende belichaming van onze levensstijl. Auto's helpen ons te laten zien wie we zijn en ze verbinden ons met vrienden. We nemen wat de autofabrikanten ons gaven en passen het aan om het beter, sneller en unieker te maken. Sommigen van ons zijn net van school, anderen van ons zijn familiemensen, maar we zijn allemaal automensen - net als jij.
