Modified Aerocharger Airbox ( Help )

[catmando]

This is apparently a secret valve, was put on a Aerocharger airbox, was told they do this to the new turboes . Can someone explain to me how it works and what it does . Never seen one like this and would like too find out what it’s purpose is? Thx in advance .

Is it a check valve? If it is, it would be to allow the engine to pull air more freely off idle while the turbo spools up.

Couple more pics. Doesn’t look like it seals off?

I will take more, it has a pressure valve in the threaded tube on the right

should be a good upgrade as far as I’m concerned

Definatly makes sense after looking at the 850 box.

Me and my brother were talking about doing that in 2015 but thought it would leak to much air pressure. We were thinking of using reeds. But never got around to it.

I doubt I will use it, mine runs great, just picked up a complete kit and likely use it for parts, turbo only has 2000 k on it so nice to have sitting on a shelf.

Thanks for all the replies!

Buddy just built a airbox with a reed valve in it. Made it so there’s a plate that he can block the reed off super easy/ quick.

You can just thread a cap on this one? Pretty slick ide!

Be interesting to see what the mechanism is inside of that tube..?

It’s like a butterfly valve, seals pretty good and has a decent spring in it.
