On
turbocharged vehicles, blow off valves release excessive
boost pressure trapped inside the intake pipe when the
throttle is released. This release of pressure is important
because as the vehicle accelerates, the turbo builds a
high pressure air stream through the throttle body and
into the motor. When the driver lets off of the accelerator
and closes the throttle plate, the trapped air instantaneously
has nowhere to go. This trapped air begins to travel back
towards the turbine blade causing excessive strain on
the blades. Prolonged exposure to these conditions can
cause premature turbine wear and eventually cause turbine
failure. The Apexi Spec 2 blow off valve is designed to
effectively release this pressure into the atmosphere.
The unique design allows quick response without causing
any excessive turbo lag between gears.
Warning: We
will NOT refund for the installed unit.
It strongly requires professional installation.
