Exclusive “pilot-actuated” valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost
We have expanded our product offering to provide a direct mount solution for the weaker performing factory manifolds used on many European vehicles.
The factory-fitted solenoid coils themselves are fine (the ECU opens the solenoid faster than any pneumatic valve), but the weak point is the valve mechanism itself. So we solved that problem by replacing the valve parts only with an anodized billet aluminum housing fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances.
The end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it.
Other manufacturers’ products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve, requiring long vacuum hose runs, additional parts for tapping into the intake manifold vacuum, plus either a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve or a ballast resistor to plug into the OE wiring loom. All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive and takes much longer to install.
On the other hand, our solution is more responsive, less costly, easier to install and does not cause compressor surge/turbine fluctuations. In addition, it does not require different springs or frequent reassembly.
Many late-model European cars use ECU controlled solenoid-type diverter valves. This is a good concept because the valve can react very quickly and it only opens when it needs to.
However, there are some problems with these valves. There are typically two types of solenoid-actuated diverter valves found standard on VAG and European cars, both of which have their shortcomings...
Common OE Problem #1:
The diaphragm types are commonly known to rupture, especially when boost and temperature are increased as a result of chip tuning.

Common OE Problem #2:
The plastic piston-type leaks far more than most people realise (by design, not from wear), and doesn’t always close after a high-boost gear shift.
The plastic piston-type leaks far more than most people realise (by design, not from wear), and doesn’t always close after a high-boost gear shift.
Additionally, in both cases, the solenoid on the OE diverter is directly connected to the valve mechanism, which is not ideal because neither it nor the return spring are strong enough to open and close the valve reliably at high boost.
With problems like this, you can see why other aftermarket manufacturers assume the best solution is to replace the factory diverter entirely. Unfortunately though, whilst their replacement kits might be stronger than the factory diverter, their slower response speed and lower flow do not justify the extra cost and complexity – more of a compromise than a solution.
We took a different approach to provide a complete solution that solved existing problems and improved performance without compromise or price.
We have solved the problem of the stock valve with a very simple and elegant solution. The stock solenoid valve is retained, thus retaining all the benefits of the stock system, and the valve components are replaced with indestructible metal parts, ensuring strength and reliability no matter how much boost is applied.
That's not all. Instead of using a solenoid to directly actuate the valve, we use a unique "pilot actuated" system. This means that the solenoid valve controls the air pressure used to open and close the piston, so no matter how much boost pressure you apply through it, our diverter valves will reliably open and close without exceeding the solenoid valve's capacity.
This feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response..
