Forge Motorsport E-DV Atmospheric Valve for VAG 1.8/2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3
The Forge E-DV Atmospheric (FMEDV103A) is a direct-fit electronic blow off valve for popular VW Group 1.8 and 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 3 engines. It replaces the factory electronic diverter valve to give faster, more consistent boost control and a clear turbo whoosh on lift-off.
Why choose this valve
- Plug-and-play with the factory connector – no vacuum lines or extra parts.
- Quicker response for crisper throttle and smoother gear changes.
- Improved sealing to hold boost more reliably, especially on tuned cars.
- Atmospheric vent gives a noticeable turbo sound when you lift off.
- CNC billet aluminium body with an integrated electronic pilot valve.
- 360-degree clockable body to help fit neatly in tight bays.
- Serviceable design for long-term reliability.
- Helps reduce compressor surge for smoother turbo operation.
What it does
A diverter valve releases pressurised air when you lift off the throttle. This protects the turbo and helps keep it spinning, so the car gets back on boost faster when you press the pedal again. The Forge E-DV reacts quickly and holds boost securely. Expect better consistency and drivability rather than a big power gain on its own.
Fitment

Important: EA888 Gen 3 engines only – not for MQB EVO EA888.4 engines found in many 2021-on models.
Good to know
This is the Atmospheric version, so it vents to air for a louder sound. No ECU remap is required. It is a direct replacement for the OEM electronic valve on the turbo housing. The clockable body helps achieve a tidy install, and the unit is fully serviceable to maintain performance over time. If you prefer a near-stock sound, a recirculating version is available separately.
