Important Notes on Your New Diverter Valve

  1. Turbosmart accepts no responsibility whatsoever for incorrect installation of this product which is potentially hazardous and can cause serious engine damage or personal injury
  2. The EM series diverter valve is designed for use as a factory replacement for a turbocharged vehicle that utilises an electronic diverter valve, this valve can be used on other applications so long as there is a control signal to actuate the diverter valve.
  3. Ensure the engine is cold prior to installation.
  4. For Standalone ECU configuration, ensure valve is not energised for indefinite periods of time as this can cause significant life detriment to the actuation solenoid. 

Recommendations

  • Turbosmart recommends that your Diverter valve is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.

About Your EM Series Diverter Valve

Turbosmart has developed a unique “plug and play” diverter valve (or bypass valve) upgrade for your vehicle that is currently equipped with an electronic diverter valve. While we have developed this unit to be as simple as possible for you to install, we have not compromised on performance. This unit will not leak under elevated boost pressures and will still provide you with rapid response ensuring that all the OEM calibration strategies are not interfered with, providing you with maximum boost performance while the advanced strategies of the OEM’s are retained.

As the valve is completely controlled by the factory engine control unit, the factory diverter valve is almost silent, due to our construction, it is possible that your EM series will be much more audible. By being able to hear the unit actuate, occasionally the valve may be opening for a few seconds under the following events such as traction control, cruise control management, rapid gearchanges and varying throttle position changes, these are all coded as part of the torque management software in the OEM engine control unit, there is no adjustment available over these functions via our product. By hearing these events, it is not abnormal, it is completely normal for the EM series diverter valve to be considered “very active” as it is protecting your turbocharger from surge events or bypassing air for torque management purposes.

Fitting your EM Series Diverter Valve

Identify diverter valve location

The factory diverter valve is mounted under the intake tube, the divter valve is mounted with 3x E5 Torx studs. Before you begin to remove the factory engine cover, you'll need to undo a 10mm socket and ratchet (circled in red),
NOTE! Cosmetic engine covers may be required to be removed prior to the turbocharger assembly being visible.  
CAUTION! The turbocharger assembly may require the vehicle to be raised on a hoist or jacked up and secured using vehicle jack stands, ensure your safety is not compromised. Identify OEM diverter valve location  
NOTE! Allow for the engine to cool down.

Partially remove intake pipework

In order to make room to remove the OEM diverter valve, the primary intake tube must be partially removed. Remove the clam from the airbox to make room. The hose clamp will need to be undone.




Additionally, remove the clamp and recirculation tube for additional clearance.



Removing the factory valve

Remove the electronic plug from the OEM diverter valve and unscrew the the 3 screws. The valve will likely want to fall off the mounting flange as you unscrew. Make sure to catch all fasteners. 
Note: The factory torx screw can be reused or the included M6 fasteners.





Installing your EM Series Diverter Valve
Install the included clockable flange onto the EM valve. Ensure the bolt holes align in the correct orientation, matching up with the factory flange hole pattern (image below). Slide the EM series diverter valve onto the mounting flange ensuring that the sealing O-rings are still in place on their respective grooves. Once the unit is inserted into the mounting flange, the valve can be rotated accordingly. Finally, screw the OE mounting screws into place securing the diverter valve. Once the valve has been mounted and the screws tightened, connect the electrical plug into the OEM factory plug and secure the wiring safely away from a heat source.

IMPORTANT! Be sure to mount your new valve with the solenoid & wiring facing in a direction where it does not interfere, rub, or pull on the wiring. Failure to do so could result in damage. 

 




Congratulations, your EM series diverter valve is installed and ready for use. Double check all electrical connections and mounting screws.

Troubleshooting

Diverter valve not actuating - Confirm electrical signal plug is connected appropriately, as the plugs are new, some force may be required to click the plug into place.
Valve is staying open - Confirm the valve has O-rings as they may have been dropped or lost during installation.
Boost Pressure loss or lower than before - Confirm the valve has O-Rings as they may have been dropped or lost during installation.
Failing the above, submit a technical request to tech@turbosmart.com.au with information of your engine configuration and photos of installation. 
As the factory engine control unit controls the valve, the diverter valve is almost silent.

Notes On Em Series Diverter Valve Operation

  1. Due to its construction, your EM series may be much more audible than the OEM valve
  2. During normal operation you may now be able to hear the valve open for a few seconds under the following events: traction control, cruise control management, rapid gear changes and varying throttle position changes. This is standard operation of your diverter valve and is coded as part of the torque management software in the OEM engine control unit; there is no adjustment available over these functions on the Turbosmart EM valve directly. It is normal for a diverter valve to be “very active” as it protects your turbocharger from surge events as well as bypassing air for torque management purposes.
