Turbocharger spooling valve

A device I fabricated and employed to quicken the spool rate of the turbocharger when paired with a split turbine housing.
Although this device proved to spool the turbocharger quicker, it was shelved after the discovery of the Nitrous/Methanol Anti-Lag System w/Afterburner.

Yeah, I know. I couldn't stop playing with it.

in this setup you would have to merge the two banks right? instead of running both banks into the respective scroll

[DonW21G]

@turtlemann14 Correct.

[turtlemann14]

@DonW21G did you divert the flow to the scroll towards the bearing housing or towards the outlet? and did you make the valve out of inconel or just ss?

[DonW21G]

@turtlemann14 I chose to divert the flow to the outlet side. I don't have any info as to which side would give the quicker spool up. I simply made a guess. Diverting to the outlet side does blow back on the large diameter of the wheel, where as diverting to the bearing side blows towards the small diameter of the wheel and the outlet.

@turtlemann14 Valve is SS.

Would you be willing to build and sell one for a t3 turbo? I know there are some out there they just charge to much.

[DonW21G]

@worpedteg Sorry, but if you can't afford a mass produced unit, you certainly won't be able to afford me building you a custom unit. Besides, I don't make cheap stuff.

VERY nice work, I love the idea of an open flange with more angle to divert flow...thanks for posting this, I plan on building one myself...Nice fab job...

[DonW21G]

@TheVenomTT The shaft is centrally located on the blade so must be operated by spring pressure, MAP pressure, or CO2 pressure from the actuator.

[TheVenomTT]

It should open under pressure, right?
