Important Notes On Your GenV ProPort

1. Turbosmart accepts no responsibility for the incorrect installation of this product which is potentially hazardous and can cause serious engine damage or personal injury.
   
2. The ProPort is designed for use with a turbocharger that does not have inbuilt BOVs or when a larger flow rate is required.
   
3. Use only high-quality fittings ensuring maximum sealing reliability.
   

Recommendations

1. Allow for adequate cool airflow around the top diaphragm housing.
   
2. DO NOT Mount the Pro Port so that the top diaphragm housing is less than 100mm from a heat source.
   
3. Fitting your ProPort may require fabrication or modification to your turbocharger piping. Turbosmart recommends that an appropriately qualified technician fits your Pro Port.
   
4. Turbosmart recommends that a boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle.

CAUTION! Do not place the actuator cap near a significant heat source, as this could shorten the life of the diaphragm.

Fitting the ProPort

Do not forget to put the O-Ring seal into the flange before mounting the unit on the charge pipe. Using the 4mm hex bit socket and a torque wrench, Tighten the V-Band to 4N.m (3 ft/lbs). Ensure the Pro Port is home correctly while torquing the bolt not to have a false torque, as this will likely contribute to leaks.

Fit Actuator Port Fittings

CAUTION! Do not share manifold pressure source with fuel pressure regulator or any other critical instrument.

Start the Engine and Check for Leaks

The ProPort has a variety of springs to suit different Vacuum levels and applications. Turbosmart provides the ProPort pre-installed with an 18InHg spring. Different spring combinations may be required to suit different application requirements and tuning.

1. Remove ProPort BOV From Charge Pipe

Remove the manifold pressure source hose from the BOV. Unscrew the V-band bolt in an anti-clockwise direction to the very end of the thread and squeeze the bolt against the V-band in a syringe-like motion to expand the V-band over the flange. Remove Pro Port being careful not to drop or lose the sealing O-Ring.   CAUTION! Allow the engine to cool down before removing your ProPort.

2. Remove Top Cap

Before removing the Pro Port cap, remove all fittings from the 1/8” NPT ports. Press down with light to medium load on the cap in a press or vice. Unscrew the locking collar with a collar tool (TS-0550-3014) in an anti-clockwise direction until completely disengaged, gently removing tension from the press or vice, allowing the spring to expand. Finally, remove the cap when the spring has stopped expanding.   CAUTION! Use soft jaws to prevent cosmetic damage.   CAUTION! Maintain downward pressure on the cap while removing the collar, or non-repairable thread damage will occur. Configure ProPort with the preferred spring combination.

3. Replace Springs

A new configuration of springs can now be selected. There are two sets of types of springs. An inner and outer. It is only possible to run one of the same. It must be inner and outer.

4. Familiarise Yourself with Cap and Body Notches

Locate cap and body notches and grooves, which dictate the alignment of the cap. These notches are used to locate the cap onto the body and must be aligned before compression of the cap onto the body.   CAUTION! Ensure notches are aligned and seated home correctly before exerting force to tighten the collar. Permanent damage will occur if these are not aligned correctly.

5. Press Cap onto the Body

Compress the cap onto the body using a press or vice, ensuring the notches remain aligned. Once the cap has seated home onto the body, screw the collar down by hand in a clockwise direction. While still in the press or vice, Tighten the collar further with the collar tool until the collar does not turn. CAUTION! Maintain downward pressure on the cap while tightening the collar, or non-repairable thread damage will occur.   Reinstall fittings to the cap of the Pro Port using fresh Loctite 567 thread sealant.

6. Reinstall ProPort

Place the V-band over the weld on the flange by unscrewing the bolt on the V-band as far out as possible and then squeezing the bolt in a syringe motion to expand the V-band. Once the V-band is in its fully expanded position, slide the v-band over the flange to allow for the ProPort to be installed. Do not forget to put the O-ring into the flange before mounting the unit on the Charge pipe. Using the 4mm hex bit socket and a torque wrench, tighten the V-Band to 4N.m (3 ft/lbs).

Tuning Your Vacuum Level

ProPort replacement diaphragm kit:

1. Piston Assembly: TS-0208-9005
   
2. Collar Tool: TS-0550-3014
   

CAUTION!

1. Ensure the diaphragm is contained within the groove before cap re-assembly.
   
2. Pay attention not to rotate the diaphragm.
3. Allow the engine to cool down before removing your ProPort.
   

1. Check the vacuum hose for splits, cracks, loose connection, kinking, or any obstruction – old or fatigued hose may collapse under the vacuum, causing an obstruction.
2. With the engine running, remove the vacuum/pressure hose from the nipple in the cap of the ProPort. There should be a loud hissing sound. The engine should idle poorly, double check by covering the end of the hose with your finger. If this does not occur, the hose could be blocked or crimped. Check the hose and replace it if necessary.
3. Ensure that the vacuum/pressure source is not shared and that the vacuum source is directly from the inlet manifold.
4. Check the seal between the adapter and the ProPort – ensure no gap between the Pro Port base and the weld flange.
5. Check the joint between the adapter and the intercooler pipe for leaks.Ensure that the right spring is installed in the ProPort for your engine’s vacuum level.
   
6. Failing the above, submit a technical request to tech@turbosmart.com.au with information on your engine configuration and installation photos.
