The listing title does a good job describing this item that's for sale!
This is Forge's Recirculation Diverter Valve (FMDVR60R). It's new and never been installed. 

Here's a little bit of backstory on why I'm selling it. This was one of the first upgrade purchases that I made for my 2013 JCW when I first bought it a few years back. I wasn't comfortable working on a MINI at that time, so the part sat in my garage. I reorganized the garage and this part sat in a plastic tub under one of my workbenches. During that time, I had a kid, forgot that I had the valve and didn't think about it. Fast forward two years, I reorganized the garage to make room for all his outside toys, valve still completely out of my thoughts. Ordered another valve from Forge, installed that valve on my JCW. Moved some things around again. Opened the plastic tub it was in and found this valve... again! 

So there you have it! The valve usually runs $270+ from Forge or ECS tuning.

If interested, just PM me. We'll work out payment methods and shipping. 

Here is the link to Forge's website that has more details about the diverter valve. 

Forge's Product Description:Our blow off valve is designed specifically for the Mini/Peugeot N18 engines including the Mini Cooper S 2011-onwards, Mini JCW Cooper S 2013-onwards, Mini R58 Coupe 2012-onwards, Peugeot 208 GTi late 2012-onwards, Peugeot 308 GTI, RCZ THP 156 & 200, 2011-onwards. This product is either recommended where the boost pressure has been increased by an ECU software upgrade, for those wanting a loud blow off sound, or simply as a solution to the many failures that have occurred.

The most common complaint on the OEM solenoid valve is a split diaphragm preventing the valve from opening fully, or not at all. This doesn’t always result in a check engine light as the valve can still be blown open by the boost pressure. We have seen many valves with this problem.




 

The other problem is that diaphragm retaining ring is made from very thin plastic that goes brittle with heat cycles and oil contamination, and eventually fails. This prevents the diaphragm from sealing with the same problems as mentioned above. This particular failure also results in the valve falling apart upon removal from the turbo, though in extreme cases bits of plastic can enter the turbo and destroy it. 




 

Our alternative is a fully engineered solution offering both significantly improved reliability. Our valve is piston based, with no diaphragm to fail, and of all aluminium construction, it replaces the original unit with a pressure/vacuum operated piston valve that still also retains the desirable OEM ECU control over valve actuation. The valve has been proved on the VAG scene for many years. The spring is interchangeable for different levels of boost, and the solenoid is plug and play with the wiring harness which is included - as with all Forge products, this valve is guaranteed for life!
