Turbosmart Electronic BoostGate Charge Air Valve 50mm External Wastegate
Fits Most Models
TS-0265-1042
Overview:
The Turbosmart BoostGate 50 is a high-performance, electronically controlled butterfly-style valve designed specifically for charge pipe boost control. Crafted from lightweight billet aluminum, this valve offers precise modulation of compressed air flow on the cold side of your turbocharger system. Unlike traditional external wastegates that regulate boost by diverting exhaust gases, the BoostGate 50 directly controls charge air, providing superior resolution and flow for optimized boost management.
Ideal for drag racing and other high-performance applications where turbocharger parameters are already optimized, the BoostGate 50 delivers consistent, repeatable boost control to help you achieve the perfect pass every time. Its advanced design and patented technology make it a reliable choice for enthusiasts seeking enhanced boost precision and responsiveness.
Key Features:
The Turbosmart BoostGate 50 combines innovative engineering with durable materials to provide exceptional boost control performance. Key features include:
- 50mm (1.97 inch) butterfly-style zero-offset valve for maximum flow and precise control
- High flow capacity of 383.9 CFM (10.87 m³/min) to handle demanding boost levels
- Stainless steel (630) butterfly and shaft for strength and corrosion resistance
- Billet aluminum main body reduces mass while maintaining durability
- 360-degree mounting options on V-band for flexible installation
- Clock-able actuator positions with two 120-degree options for optimal fitment
- Full electronic actuation with dual H-bridge input for smooth, responsive operation
- Onboard 0-5V analog actuator temperature sensor for real-time monitoring
- Onboard 0-5V analog valve position sensor and PWM digital valve position sensor for precise feedback
- 7-wire unterminated flying lead loom for versatile wiring integration
Construction & Design
The BoostGate 50 is engineered with a billet aluminum main body that offers a lightweight yet robust structure, reducing overall mass without compromising strength. The stainless steel butterfly and shaft ensure long-lasting durability and resistance to wear under high-heat and high-pressure conditions. Its zero-offset butterfly design enables exceptional flow characteristics and fine control over boost pressure.
The valve’s 360-degree mounting capability on a V-band flange allows for flexible positioning in various charge pipe configurations, while the clock-able actuator positions provide additional installation versatility. This thoughtful design ensures compatibility with a wide range of turbocharged setups.
Installation & Fitment
The Turbosmart BoostGate 50 is designed to fit most turbocharged vehicle models, making it a versatile upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved boost control. It mounts directly to the charge pipe, allowing for direct modulation of compressed air flow rather than relying on traditional external wastegate methods.
Installation requires integration with your vehicle’s electronic control system via the supplied 7-wire flying lead loom. The valve’s electronic actuation and sensor feedback enable precise control and monitoring, but no cutting, drilling, or special tuning is explicitly required beyond standard boost control system setup.
