Turbosmart GenV ALV40 (Anti-Lag Valve)

The use of an anti-lag system makes it possible to maintain the turbo speed and thus the boost pressure during the starting phase and gearshift pauses. There are two types of anti-lag systems. In the simple version, the throttle valve is opened slightly, more fuel is injected and the ignition is adjusted towards late. This method puts a lot of strain on conrods and the crankshaft and often leads to damage. The second version uses a valve to divert the charge air upstream of the throttle valve into the individual exhaust pipes of the exhaust manifold upstream of the turbocharger. This system is gentle on the engine and is used in rally cars. The Turbosmart ALV40 has a valve diameter of 40mm and a specially developed actuator housing with a two-chamber design. The upper port is the primary control port. The spring is designed to open under vacuum conditions, allowing the discharged air to enter the exhaust manifold.
