The Hybrid is Back!

Celebrating 20 Years of Innovation

Can you believe it? It's been 20 years since the world's first dual outlet blow-off valve made its debut! Let's take a little trip back to 1998—a time before smartphones, social media, and even Google. Back then, GFB's founding engineer, John Adrian, was frustrated with his new WRX stalling due to an atmosphere-venting BOV. He thought, "Enough is enough!" and decided to create something better. And just like that, the Hybrid was born!

A Game-Changer in Performance

Known affectionately as the "Hybrid," this groundbreaking product quickly became the flagship model for Go Fast Bits. What made it special? The two venting ports were cleverly designed so that the recirc port opened before the atmo port. This unique feature helped prevent backfiring and stalling, especially in cars equipped with a MAF sensor, all while delivering that iconic blow-off sound when you really push your car.

A Legacy of Excellence

The success of the Hybrid sparked a revolution in the industry, inspiring nearly every other BOV brand to adopt similar technology. It didn't stop there; the Hybrid evolved into GFB's next big thing—the venting bias adjustable BOV, known as the Respons TMS, and later the electronically adjustable Deceptor Pro.

Welcome Back, Hybrid!

With all the attention on newer models, the Hybrid had taken a backseat for a while. But now, in honor of its 20th birthday—one of the most influential BOVs in the turbo world—GFB is bringing the Hybrid back to life!

A Special Recognition

As a cherry on top, the new Hybrid valve was recognized for its dual-port venting system, standing out among 3,000 entries to win a Global Media Award at the 2017 SEMA show. Talk about a birthday present!

Features and Fitment

The new Hybrid retains the same staged venting outlets as the original but now offers the flexibility to configure for full recirc, full atmosphere, or a 50/50 split. Plus, with a wide range of direct bolt-on kits available for popular vehicles, you can enjoy all the perks of dual port venting without breaking the bank.
