TURBOCHARGERSYSTEM
Intake (Induction)
H: AIR BYPASS VALVE
When a throttle valve is suddenly closed, low air suction noise may occur due to a sudden rise of
the air pressure in the passage between the turbocharger and throttle body. To prevent this, an
air bypass valve and air passage are provided. The air bypass valve, actuated by the vacuum
created by a sudden closure of the throttle valve, allows the suction air to bypass the turbocharger
and flow directly upstream, thus lowering the pressure in the air passage.
