Product Description

The Detroit Tuned Bypass Valve is a re-worked new OEM valve that is modified by Detroit Tuned to eliminate the "Yo-Yo" in early year ('02-'04) Cooper S's, but is available for all year Cooper S's. But what is the "Yo-Yo"... It's the opening and closing of the valve around 2500 rpm's so that it feels like your stepping on and off the gas, but your not. So we added a stronger spring to overcome the vaccum condition that it sees so that it will not open as soon or as much. Our BPV closes at 6 psi of vaccum, starting to build boost.

The DT BPV uses a stiffer return spring, resulting in quicker boost generation, and thus quicker throttle response and transitions. Most cars see about 1psi total @ redline. The butterfly assembly is also adjusted to close fully, allowing for maximum boost. Perfect for the aggressive driver or racer. It is possible to see a very minor loss in fuel economy, but you will see a great improvement in throttle resolution and smoothness.

Every valve comes with full how-to instructions (below) and all necessary hardware. Easy to install in about an hour. No core charge.

Absolute BEST part for your mini

Posted by David R. on 14th May 2013

So ive been looking for sometime for parts that do what they claim, and i have to say detroit tuned has severely understated the capabilities of their product. Now i should say i have the colder range plugs by ngk and a 15% pulley. For starters lets talk performance on the track and twisties it gives u a larger useable RPM range from about 2k till redline not more power but, the boost comes sooner resulting in a faster lap time. Next is the yo-yo thats dead and gone now feels great. Throttle response is on point as well no waiting for the old bypass to close power is there when u want it. Highway driving at 70 mph is fantastic just give it the gas and she flys no downshift its great. Lastly gas mileage did suffer lost about 4-6mpg intown and about 6 on the highway but yours may differ because i cant resist all the extra fun this product offers "SOLID 5 STARS"
Awesome Product and Excellent Service

Made my first purchase with Detriot Tuned and couldnt be happier. The person I spoke with on the phone was very friendly and helpful - the odering online was very easy - the shipping was very quick - and the instructions were terrific. The bypass value made a huge difference to the performance of my MINI and it is now much more responsive. Highly recommend both the company and the product!
A++++ Mod for your Mini

I was having some boost issues as the stock BPV had 118k on it. Bought this and had my mechanic install this as well as a new belt tensioner, stop, belt and a Autologic tune.
All things completed and the yo-yo effect is gone, more power in the boost and the boost comes in earlier. Best mod done to this car yet! A+++++
Best $125 I've spent this year!

Great quality product that even comes with installation instructions! Takes about an hour, two if you're a novice. While you're installing make sure you clean your intercooler and throttle body. The cars ability to build and hold boost has increased dramatically!

I'm very happy with the bypass valve. The spring is noticeably stiffer and the butterfly is fully closed unlike my stock one with 75k on it. My advise for install is to remove front bumper and pull rad support forward a few inches on driver side to access the supercharger intake pipe bolt. Loose the bolt before separating the bpv and the intake pipe. I didn't do this and broke the thin plastic tab holding the pipe onto supercharger. It's an extra step but if you break the pipe you have to do it any way plus $150 for pipe and gasket :( I would recommend the bpv as my boost feels stronger and comes in earlier.
