All About Boost and Vortech Superchargers
Product Profile – Vortech Maxflow Bypass/Blowoff Valves
Vortech Maxflow Bypass/Blow-off Valves improve supercharger operations by opening to relieve unwanted pressure during deceleration. This reduces heat build-up and eliminates compressor surge. These units feature a “rolling diaphragm” design which provides ultra-quick valve response along with unmatched durability. Listed here from smallest to largest, Vortech offers a Maxflow Bypass/Blow-off Valve for virtually any requirement or application.
Standard Bypass Valve
