Blow off Valve

Blow Off valves are used to prevent compressor surge. Compressor surge is a phenomenon that occurs when lifting off the throttle of a turbocharged car. When the throttle plate on a turbocharged engine running boost closes, high pressure in the intake system has nowhere to go and is forced to travel back to the turbocharger in the form of a pressure wave. This results in the wheel rapidly decreasing speed and stalling. Using a Blow Off valve the excess pressure from the turbocharger is vented into the atmosphere or recirculated into the intake upstream of the compressor inlet.

Boost Controller

A Boost Controller limits boost pressure against the wastegate until a desired bost level is achieved. Since less positive pressure can be present at the wastegate actuator as desired boost is approached the wastegate remains closer to a completely closed state. This keeps exhaust gas routed through the turbine and increases energy transferred to the wheels of the turbocharger also reducing turbocharger lag and lowering boost threshold.

External Waste Gates

A wastegate is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compressor. The primary function of the wastegate is to regulate the maximum boost pressure in turbocharger systems, to protect the engine and the turbocharger.

Fuel Cut Defender

Most late models of cars have built in defence mechanisms to guard against increases in boost pressure. Such Systems are important, but can be an obstacle when increasing boost pressure. A Fuel Cut Defender will allow boost pressure to be increased above the factory level and prevent momentary shutdown of the fuel injection system.

Fuel Pressure Regulators

A fuel pressure regulator’s job is to maintain a constant fuel pressure above the intake manifold pressure. The installation of performance fuel injectors or a high-flow fuel pump requires the use of an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator to allow pressure adjustments while maintaining a stable base pressure. They can also be used to maximise a standard fuel system’s ability to cope with minor power modifications.

Actuators

The simplest control for a wastegate is to supply boost pressure directly from the charge air side to the wastegate actuator. A small hose can connect from the turbocharger compressor outlet, charge pipes, or intake manifold to the nipple on the wastegate actuator. The wastegate will open further as the boost pressure pushes against the force of the spring in the wastegate actuator until equilibrium obtained. More intelligent control can be added by integrating an electronic boost controller.

Alloy Tanks

Alloy tanks are used as replacement for the original plastic tanks which can become brittle with time. At the same time adding that show look to your engine bay.

Silicone Hoses

Ideal to replace the exising rubber hoses found on most card that can become brittle and split. Silicone hoses can also withstand higher boost pressures so idel for tuning your car. Can also add that show car look to your engine bay.

Intercooler

An intercooler is an air-to-air heat exchange device used on turbocharged and supercharged (forced induction) internal combustion engines to improve their efficiency by increasing intake air charge density. A decrease in air intake temperature provides a denser intake charge to the engine and allows more air and fuel to be combusted per engine cycle, increasing the output of the engine.
