Turbosmart TS-0552-1402 GenV ALV40 Anti-Lag Valve, Black
The all-new addition to the Turbosmart line-up is the fresh air ALV40 (Anti-Lag Valve) for motorsport applications. Featuring a 40mm valve diameter and a purpose-designed actuator housing. Multiple fittings are also supplied for ease of fitment and fabrication.
The fresh air valve allows for incoming charged fresh air from the turbo to be diverted safely into the exhaust manifold pre-turbine wheel with the throttle at low opening angles to allow for safer spooling of the turbocharger without the potentially damaging throttle based late combustion event style anti-lag that can induce high engine stresses and break connecting rods.
- The ALV is a sealed twin chamber design, with the top port being the primary control port
- The spring is designed to open under vacuum conditions to allow the air to bypass into the exhaust manifold, the lower chamber for twin-port control methods, control the valve irrespective of manifold pressure, and shaft seal allows for leakproof operation
- 1/8" NPT
About Turbosmart
Behind every Turbosmart product stands a long and rich racing history. While a majority of Turbosmart products are used on street cars, their design and testing procedure is identical to the high-end purpose-made racing products. Before reaching the consumer, Turbosmart products are subjected to a range of tests performed in the most demanding environment, the race track.
When Turbosmart began making performance products back in 1997, a great amount of effort was put into the design and manufacturing process to ensure our products created a new standard. More hand-crafted than mass-produced, Turbosmart products quickly gained acceptance within the performance community for their quality and reliability. Coupled with extraordinary service and after-sales support, Turbosmart quickly became one of the most sought-after names in the industry. Not much has changed since then. Although our product line and the company itself have grown considerably, the products are still designed and manufactured in our factory in Sydney, Australia, using the same tried and proven formula of innovative design, strict quality control, and rigorous testing. We have invested in our research facility manufacturing equipment and staff training to ensure our products continue to perform up to and beyond your expectations. At Turbosmart, we do not believe in cutting corners and half-measures. We do not accept anything short of perfection - and neither should you.
