Go Fast Bits (GFB) is a performance brand best known for developing turbocharger and boost-control components like blow-off valves (BOVs), diverter valves, electronic boost controllers, and turbo management hardware. GFB has a strong reputation in the enthusiast community for making products that improve boost response, drivability, and reliability—especially on modern turbo vehicles.

Founded & Origins

GFB was founded in 1997 in Australia, and built its identity around one core mission: make forced-induction cars perform better and respond faster through smarter boost control and airflow management.

From early on, they focused heavily on engineering solutions for the weak points found in many OEM turbo systems—especially factory bypass/diverter valves that can leak boost, tear diaphragms, or struggle at higher boost levels.

Growth in the Turbo Performance Market

As turbocharged vehicles became more common worldwide, GFB expanded into a global brand recognized for performance upgrades for platforms like:

• Subaru (WRX/STI)
  
• Volkswagen/Audi (2.0T, GTI, Golf R)
  
• Ford EcoBoost
  
• BMW turbo platforms
  
• Mitsubishi EVO and other turbo imports
  

GFB became especially known for creating upgrades that were more than “noise makers”—they aimed to improve boost holding capability, response, and consistency.

Engineering Reputation

GFB stands out because they’re heavily engineering-driven. They’re known for:

• Strong product testing and platform-specific development
  
• High-quality machining and material choice
  
• Solutions designed to fix OEM limitations
  
• Components built for street use and track abuse
  

Their products are commonly selected by drivers who want a setup that performs hard without causing drivability issues or check engine lights.

Today

Today, Go Fast Bits is widely recognized as a top-tier brand for turbo cars, especially for people who want:

• Reliable boost control
  
• Faster spool and response
  
• Better consistency at higher boost levels
  
• A smarter upgrade than “generic” turbo parts

1) Fixes common OEM turbo weak points

A big reason people choose GFB is to solve factory issues like:

• Boost leaks from weak diverter valves
  
• Torn diaphragms or leaking seals
  
• Inconsistent boost holding at higher psi
  

2) Better boost response and drivability

GFB upgrades can help deliver:

• Faster boost recovery between shifts
  
• Smoother throttle response
  
• More consistent power delivery
  

This is huge on tuned daily drivers where you want performance without sacrificing drive quality.

3) Built for real boost—not just stock power levels

If someone is tuned, upgraded turbo, running ethanol, or pushing higher boost targets, GFB is trusted because their valves and boost hardware are designed to hold pressure reliably.

4) Smart design (not just “make it loud”)

Yes, some GFB parts can improve turbo sound—but the reason people actually buy them is because they’re functional performance upgrades, not gimmicks.

5) Excellent fitment on popular turbo platforms

GFB is known for making vehicle-specific solutions that install cleanly, especially on platforms like:

• Subaru WRX
  
• VW GTI / Golf R
  
• Ford EcoBoost
  
• BMW turbo engines
  

6) Great durability and long-term reliability

Customers like GFB because the parts are designed to survive:

• Heat
  
• Boost pressure
  
• daily driving
  
• track days
  

7) Ideal for the “daily + weekend” build

GFB is a favorite for drivers who want a car that:

• Drives clean every day
  
• Performs hard when you lean on it
  
• Doesn’t turn into a maintenance headache
  

8) Strong value for a premium turbo upgrade

They’re not bargain-bin parts—but GFB is often chosen because it’s a smart middle-ground between:

• cheap no-name valves
  
• ultra-expensive motorsport-only components
