About Your EM Series BOV
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. It will still provide you with rapid response ensuring that all the OEM calibration strategies are not interfered with, providing you with maximum boost performance. In contrast, the advanced strategies of the OEMs are retained.
As the factory engine control unit controls the valve, the diverter valve is almost silent. Due to our construction, your EM series may be much more audible. By being able to hear the unit actuate, the valve may occasionally open for a few seconds under the following events: traction control, cruise control management, rapid gear changes 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. Hearing about these events is not abnormal. It is normal for the EM series BOV to be considered “very active” as it protects your turbocharger from surge events or bypassing air for torque management purposes.
