How the Turbosmart Boost Tee Manual Boost Controller Works
Turbochargers create boost pressure by compressing intake air. The wastegate limits boost by opening once a certain pressure level is reached.
The Boost Tee modifies this pressure signal by:
-
Delaying the pressure signal reaching the wastegate
-
Allowing the turbocharger to produce more boost
-
Providing adjustable boost pressure levels
The result is increased turbo performance and improved engine output.
An Increase In Boost Over And Above The Base Spring Pressure Can Be Achieved By Manipulating The Reference Signal To An Internal Wastegate Actuator Or External Wastegate. It Is Common To Reach 100 – 200% Increases In Boost Over The Base Spring Pressure. Using Our Proven Detent System,
