A high boost pressure loads the engine or the turbocharger very much, which is why you do not want to be constantly on the road with high boost pressure. But real tuners can not do without such a high boost pressure. For those who want to increase the boost pressure when needed, there is manual boost pressure regulator, With a manual boost pressure regulator (also called steam wheel), the boost pressure can be variably adjusted. For this purpose, a ball made of ceramic is located inside the manual boost pressure regulator or the steam wheel. By this constellation, a very accurate control of the boost pressure is possible. It not only allows the variable control of the boost pressure, but also allows a faster pressure build-up. The installation of a manual boost pressure regulator is also relatively easy. You simply build it between wastegate and intake manifold side.
Boost pressure regulator (steam wheel) function
In the case of a manual boost pressure regulator, the signal of the boost pressure, which is over Bypass valve of the boost pressure regulator or its controller is derived used. A delayed opening is the result of the resulting reduced spring tension. Since the opening is delayed, a higher charge pressure is created.
Advantages of a manual boost pressure regulator
The manual boost pressure regulator increases the performance of a vehicle significantly. The increased boost pressure increases the torque, allowing better acceleration values. Experience has shown that a performance increase of up to 30% is possible.
Supplier of boost pressure regulators
For example, Bar-Tek tuning offers manual boost regulators. The offered variable charge pressure regulator was tested up to a charge pressure in the amount of 2.1 Bar. The manual boost pressure regulator is available with two different ports. The first variant is with a hose connection adapter ¼ inch including barbs. The second variant is with a hose connection adapter with an 4 AN (Dash) connection. Another supplier of manual boost pressure regulators or steam wheels is Arlows. The boost pressure regulators are suitable for all vehicles with supercharged engines via pressure control. The boost pressure regulator is clamped between the line of the wastegate and the boost pressure is set by means of a screw. As a result, a performance increase according to the manufacturer of up to 30% can be achieved. A third provider is that TurboZentrum aus Berlin.
Here you can get manual boost regulators from the USA. The manual boost regulators are used by renowned tuners such as HKA and Turbonetics in their turbocharger kits. Turbo Center states that the manual boost pressure regulators can be regulated between the standard boost pressure and a boost pressure of 2.07 bar. To the dealer promises that the manual boost regulator is very accurate. The steam wheel can be locked in this version, so you can not accidentally adjust it. The delivery includes appropriate compressed air hoses and fittings. The manufacturer is TRE or Treadstone Performance.
in the area of the StVO not allowed
Attention: Manual Boost Controllers (Boost Controllers) are not allowed in the StVO area, which means that you mount it at your own risk and put it into operation. It may also cause damage to the engine if it has not been adjusted for the higher boost pressure. We hope you the info report to the term Manual boost regulator / steam wheel from the field of autotuning.
