TiAL Sport Q 50mm Blow-Off Valve (10 PSI Spring) – BMW N54

OVERVIEW

The TiAL Sport Q is the first revision of the original TiAL blow-off valve and remains the company's highest-flowing atmospheric valve. It bolts straight onto any standard TiAL V-band flange with no re-welding, so it drops onto a TiAL-flanged charge pipe in minutes. This listing is the black 50 mm Q valve supplied with a 10 psi spring and set up for external (atmospheric) venting.

The Q is built for turbocharged and supercharged applications, including centrifugal superchargers such as Paxton and Vortech. TiAL states that development work made the same size valve flow roughly 60% more than the original design, and that a single Q valve can support up to 1,800 hp.
