Valves
Wondering where your boost went? Power
delivery not as smooth as it used to be?
Most likely your engine's diverter valve is
to blame.
What is a diverter valve? A diverter valve
(DV) is a pathway for boost when it is not
being used by your engine. Whenever the
throttle body is closed, like during shifts
or decelleration, the boost needs an escape
route. If the boost cannot escape during
these times, it can back up and cause
shocks to the turbo. These shocks will
stall the turbo, slowing boost production
upon re-acceleration (turbo lag). Even
worse, these shocks can cause damage to the
turbo. The diverter valve's job is to open
when the throttle body is closing or
closed, and reroute the boost to the low
pressure intake side of the turbo, where it
can do no harm.
The stock diverter valve uses a rubber
diaphragm to open and close this pathway.
This type of design is prone to unwanted
boost escape, honking noises, and surging
during part throttle.
We offer
diverter valves from Turbosmart, Bailey
Motorsports and VF-Engineering all which
have developed a direct-replacement, alloy
body diverter valve that eliminates all of
the above problems.
