Important Notes on Your New Diverter Valve

Turbosmart accepts no responsibility whatsoever for incorrect installation of this product which is potentially hazardous and can cause serious engine damage or personal injury
The EM series diverter valve is designed for use as a factory replacement for a turbocharged vehicle that utilises an electronic diverter valve, this valve can be used on other applications so long as there is a control signal to actuate the diverter valve.
Ensure the engine is cold prior to installation.
For Standalone ECU configuration, ensure valve is not energised for indefinite periods of time as this can cause significant life detriment to the actuation solenoid.
Recommendations

Turbosmart recommends that your Diverter valve is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician

About Your EM Series Diverter Valve

Turbosmart has developed a unique “plug and play” diverter valve (or bypass valve) upgrade for your vehicle that is currently equipped with an electronic diverter valve. While we have developed this unit to be as simple as possible for you to install, we have not compromised on performance. This unit will not leak under elevated boost pressures and will still provide you with rapid response ensuring that all the OEM calibration strategies are not interfered with, providing you with maximum boost performance while the advanced strategies of the OEM’s are retained.

As the valve is completely controlled by the factory engine control unit, the factory diverter valve is almost silent, due to our construction, it is possible that your EM series will be much more audible. By being able to hear the unit actuate, occasionally the valve may be opening for a few seconds under the following events such as traction control, cruise control management, rapid gearchanges and varying throttle position changes, these are all coded as part of the torque management software in the OEM engine control unit, there is no adjustment available over these functions via our product. By hearing these events, it is not abnormal, it is completely normal for the EM series diverter valve to be considered “very active” as it is protecting your turbocharger from surge events or bypassing air for torque management purposes.

Fitting your EM Series Diverter Valve

Identify diverter valve location

The factory diverter valves is mounted under the intake the drivers side (LHD) as well on the passenger side behind the coolant reservoir, the diverter valve is mounted with 3x Torx bolts. Before you begin to remove the factory engine cover.

NOTE! Cosmetic engine covers may be required to be removed prior to the turbocharger assembly being visible.

CAUTION! The turbocharger assembly may require the vehicle to be raised on a hoist or jacked up and secured using vehicle jack stands, ensure your safety is not compromised. Identify OEM diverter valve location

NOTE! Allow for the engine to cool down.

Removing the intake tube

Once the engine guard is removed, you will be able to access to the intake pipe. Seen here in front of the oil cap. You'll need to remove all the worm clamps holding the intake tube onto the throttle body.

Removing coolant hard pipe and electronic wiring.

A 10mm holding the intake pipe on

Removing PCV from Side of Y pipe charge tube

Unplug the throttle body connector and tuck the connector out of the way.

Bend the retaining tabs up on the turbo inlet connections allowing the snap ring to be removed.

In order to make room to remove the OEM diverter valve, the intake pipe must be unclipped, 10mm socket is required to remove the intake pipe. Once removed set aside for safe keeping.

Realign the snap rings and bend down tabs in order to prep for reinstallation

Remove the plastic wire retaining clip off of the diverter valve stud for the rear turbocharger, unplug the OEM diverter valve and remove the three screws mounting it to the turbocharger, (Set these aside for safekeeping)

Install new valve making note of the orientation in photos below (solenoid will have to be removed for ease of install).

Thread solenoid in clockwise until hand tight and plug the unit into the OEM diverter valve plug

Remove the two screws holding the wire harness bracket to the turbocharger. Remove the three holding the front diverter valve down and set aside hardware and diverter valve for safe keeping.

Install the new valve in place of the OEM unit. Make note of the solenoid and flange clockin in the images bleow, Once installed utilise the provided spacers and longer bolts in order to reinstall the wire harness bracket.

Install the solenoid counterclockwise and hand tight and connect the oem pigtail

Congratulations, your EM series diverter valve is installed and ready for use. Double check all electrical connections and mounting screws.

Troubleshooting

Diverter valve not actuating - Confirm electrical signal plug is connected appropriately, as the plugs are new, some force may be required to click the plug into place.

Valve is staying open - Confirm the valve has O-rings as they may have been dropped or lost during installation.

Boost Pressure loss or lower than before - Confirm the valve has O-Rings as they may have been dropped or lost during installation.

Failing the above, submit a technical request to [email protected] with information of your engine configuration and photos of installation.

As the factory engine control unit controls the valve, the diverter valve is almost silent.
