Factory Diverter Valve Problems:

Factory diverter valves on many turbocharged vehicles are constructed from plastic with rubber diaphragms. This design is known to rupture under boost pressure, causing significant boost leaks that reduce power and performance. Additionally, many factory valves use a "normally open" design, meaning they're open at idle and part throttle. This design compromises part-throttle boost response because the valve must close before boost can build, creating lag and reducing throttle response.

GFB SXV Solution:

The GFB SXV bypass valve solves both problems with superior construction and intelligent design. The billet aluminum body and high-performance diaphragm eliminate the rupture issues that plague factory plastic units. The "normally closed" design means the valve is closed at idle and part throttle, allowing boost to build immediately when you accelerate. This eliminates the lag associated with factory valves and provides crisp, immediate throttle response.

Recirculating Design:

The SXV uses a recirculating design that returns compressed air to the intake system rather than venting it to atmosphere. This design is critical for turbocharged engines with mass airflow sensors, as venting to atmosphere can cause rich running conditions and check engine lights. The recirculating design maintains proper air metering while still providing the benefits of a high-performance bypass valve.

Normally Closed Operation:

Unlike many factory "normally open" valves, the GFB SXV uses a "normally closed" design. This means the valve remains closed until boost pressure exceeds a preset threshold, then opens to recirculate excess air during throttle lift-off. The normally closed design provides several benefits: improved part-throttle boost response, reduced turbo lag, and better overall throttle response. You'll notice the difference immediately when accelerating from part throttle.

Billet Aluminum Construction:

The SXV's billet aluminum body provides exceptional strength and durability compared to factory plastic units. Aluminum construction resists deformation under boost pressure, maintains precise tolerances over time, and dissipates heat more effectively than plastic. The precision machining ensures perfect sealing and reliable operation even under extreme conditions.

Wide Application Range:

The GFB SXV is engineered to fit a wide range of turbocharged vehicles from Polaris, Audi, VW, Saab, Porsche, Ford, and Mazda. This versatility makes it the go-to solution for enthusiasts across multiple platforms who want to eliminate factory diverter valve failures and improve boost response. Whether you're driving a Polaris RZR in the dunes, a VW Golf GTI on the street, or an Audi S4 on the track, the SXV delivers consistent performance and reliability.
