Twin Chamber Blow-off Valve
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. Conventional
blow off valve designs require choosing between flow capacity and
boost response - blow off valves with high flow capacity generally
have poor boost response, while blow off valves with good boost
response are not able to handle high flow capacity. A'PEX engineers
have developed a solution to this dilemma by creating 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.
Valve reaction is adjusted by tightening or loosening the spring
tensioning screw on top of the unit. 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 street cars as well as racecars.
