Abstract
A computer controlled turbo boost valve for internal combustion engines of the type having a turbo charger and a turbo charger feedback line, the valve having a valve element actuated by an internally mounted solenoid which is adapted to be connected to the computer, the valve having a valve element that is operable to regulate bypass flow of exhaust gases from the feedback line and that is mounted so as to be rapidly responsive to energization and deenergization of the solenoid and to be minimally affected by flow of exhaust gases into and through the valve, the components of the valve being uniquely combined and correlated, and the actuator for the valve element in particular being uniquely formed to provide for a high degree of quality control under mass production conditions of manufacture.
