Turbosmart blow off valves are developed for turbo cars where a reliable and efficient solution is needed to relieve pressure in the intake and charge pipe system when the throttle is released and the throttle body closes. A blow off valve helps direct excess boost pressure away so the turbo is not unnecessarily slowed between gear changes and during rapid changes in load. This can be an important detail on both tuned street cars, track cars and more custom-built turbo projects.
Turbosmart is a well-known name within boost control and turbo components, and their blow off valves are used in many different setups, from mild tuning to more demanding performance builds. The range covers several types of valves, making it possible to find solutions for different power goals, boost levels and preferences for response and sound. Depending on the car and setup, there may be a need for both open blow off valves and recirculating solutions, while some choose dual port to combine function and characteristic sound.
