I've been on the phone with CPE and MAP this morning, waiting to hear back. Perhaps [MENTION=2728]CP-E Mitch[/MENTION] can chime in? Will update thread.

According to Russ (who I trust and who has done at least 1 BOV/Stock Turbo setup that I'm aware of) the Turbosmart will not fit.

I do not think the turbosmart will work as it will cause a boost leak. The whole thing needs to be blocked off. We plug the hole inside of the turbo as well as cap it off.

Our exhale kit comes with a proper block off system.

Yeah, I spoke with the girl on the phone and she informed me that you can't sell it separately.
[MENTION=3178]maperformance[/MENTION] just called me back and saved the day!

So for those of you who might be googling this: the Turbosmart bypass valve/BPV/BOV block-off/block off plate WILL NOT FIT the stock Fiesta ST turbo. Contact [MENTION=3178]maperformance[/MENTION] and see if they will sell you one, or buy CPE's charge pipes.

Interesting that you say this. The picture on the page is a little misleading and it makes it look like it's just a flat piece--when I got mine in the mail I compared it to the stock BPV and they looked like they were extremely close.

Any possibility of a picture of CP-E's blockoff?

I haven't held it in my hands. As long as it blocks the hole coming from the compressor, it will be fine. I apologize as I do not have a picture.

No problem.

I'll update this thread yet again once I get the part from MAP. I lost the one I ordered from Turbosmart but I'll be trying to find it so I can make a comparison between the two and put this to death.

Got this in the mail from MAP. I can't find my Turbosmart one but I know for a fact it was shaped differently on the part that goes into the turbo.





Comparison to the stock BPV.
