GFB’s philosophy is simple: keep what works, replace what doesn’t. Now, this proven approach is available for the Ford Ranger equipped with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine!

This direct-fit performance diverter valve solution builds upon the popular T9358 DV+ kit, but is specifically engineered with new mounting hardware designed for the factory plastic turbo flange found in the Ranger. No modifications, no guesswork—just a seamless upgrade.

Why Upgrade?

The factory diverter's solenoid is fast and controlled by the ECU—so it makes sense to retain it. The weak point is the valve mechanism itself, which is constructed from molded plastic. GFB’s VTA replaces these components with precision CNC-machined billet aluminium and a brass piston designed for long-term durability and performance.

Key Advantages

• Uses the factory solenoid coil for perfect ECU integration
• Replaces plastic valve internals with robust metal components
• Delivers faster throttle response and improved boost recovery
• Holds unlimited boost—ideal for tuned setups
• Features GFB’s exclusive “pilot-actuated” valve system for ultra-fast response

What Makes It Different?

The VTA isn’t just stronger—it’s smarter. Traditional diverters, including the factory unit, operate in a binary fashion: either fully open or closed. This can lead to unnecessary lag and unpredictable boost delivery, especially under partial throttle or mid-corner modulation.

GFB’s pilot-actuated system, however, allows the piston to respond progressively, controlling boost venting with precision. Boost pressure, not just solenoid force, moves the piston—resulting in faster actuation and greater reliability under high load.

The Bottom Line

Whether you're running stock or tuned, the VTA offers sharper throttle response, improved drivability, and robust construction that won’t let you down—backed by a lifetime warranty.
