Blitz Blow Off Valve
Product Description
The Blow-off valve (BOV) is important
to all turbocharged vehicles in order to relieve
compressor surge without reducing compressor speed. The
BOV controls boost pressure that is built up by the turbo
by venting it to the atmosphere in between shifts. This
prevents pressure from backing up into the compressor housing,
causing the turbo impeller blade to rapidly stop or to spin
backwards, which can be destructive to the turbo. A
blowoff valve is actuated by pressure changes only, ensuring
quick valve responses and complete closures at idle. The BLITZ
blow-off valve not only improves performance and response, but
also increases the life of the turbocharger.
