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.
SPECS
- Valve size: 50.5 mm (1.98 in) poppet — TiAL catalogs the Q Series as a 51 mm valve
- Spring: 10 psi (Q.10 configuration)
- Venting: external / atmospheric
- Finish: black anodized
- Body and internals: CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum alloy
- Mounting: aluminum V-band clamp with stainless steel hardware
- Valve seal: clamped Viton O-ring, retained to prevent it sticking to the seat and pulling out
- Valve stem and guide: Teflon-lubricated, hard anodize-coated for wear resistance
- Air fitting: machined aluminum banjo-type fitting and bolt with oversized 10 mm hose barb for quick actuator response
- Diaphragm: high-temperature Nomex-reinforced silicone
- Flow: TiAL rates the Q Series at 219.7 lb/min (2,838 CFM) at 30 psi, full stroke
- Flange compatibility: bolts to any standard TiAL flange without re-welding
- Shipping weight: 2 lb; carton 18 x 7 x 6 in
PARTS INCLUDED
- TiAL Sport Q 50 mm blow-off valve, black, with 10 psi spring installed

TECH RESOURCES
Additional Parts Required
- A charge pipe with a TiAL 50 mm V-band flange. The Q valve does not include a weld flange in this configuration — see the SPEED LOGIC Chargepipe Upgrade Kit w/ TiAL BOV, which is also sold as a chargepipe-only option.
- Vacuum signal line. TiAL specifies 1/4 in (6 mm) inner diameter hose, kept as short as possible and taken from a source downstream of the throttle body.

Notes
- The Q is a universal valve: it fits any charge pipe or manifold carrying a standard TiAL 50 mm V-band flange, so exact chassis and year coverage depends on the charge pipe you run. Confirm fitment with Speed Logic before ordering.
