About this Manufacturer:
A good blow off valve is an absolute necessity for high performance turbo systems. A well-engineered blow off valve prevents turbine damage by quickly relieving excess boost pressure without sacrificing boost response. A'PEX engineers have developed the Twin Chamber Blow Off Valve. The Twin Chamber Blow Off Valve is an adjustable, high-response unit for use on a wide range of applications. Rather than relying on the vacuum chamber alone, the Twin Chamber Blow Off Valve harnesses boost pressure in a second chamber to assist in opening the relief valve. This design allows the use of a unique flat-valve design, which provides excellent valve response under both low and high boost conditions without sacrificing flow capacity. Blow off sound can be adjusted by turning the red collar at the base of the unit. With its innovative design and adjustment features, the Twin Chamber Blow Off Valve is flexible enough for use on streetcars as well as racecars.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a blow off valve do? Why buy one?
A blow-off valve is mounted in the intake plumbing between the turbocharger compressor and the throttle plate. The blow-off valve is used as a safety measure against the turbocharger over-boosting and damaging the engine (commonly referred to as boost surge). When you are on the throttle your turbo will make a spooling noise, and when you release the gas, the blow off valve will flutter and make a PSHHHH sound that is the classic sound of a turbo.
Are blow off valves made to fit a specific vehicle? Or are they universal?
Blow-off valves are universal for all turbocharged vehicles.
Is there any reason for me to buy a blow off valve if I don't have a turbo kit?
Naturally aspirated trucks will not benefit from a blow-off valve, only turbocharged or supercharged vehicles will.
How do you install a blow off valve?
Blow-off valves are bolted to a steel/aluminum flange. The flange must be welded onto your intake piping.
