IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR POWER PORT BOV  
Do NOT block lower chamber ports unless used with a pressure source  
Use only silicone hose that is the correct size and pressure/vacuum rating for your application.  
Ensure that all plumbing is secured with suitable clamps or the correct fittings are used.  
Your Power Port should be mounted at least 100mm from any significant heat source.  
Check the vacuum level produced by your engine to ensure the correct spring/s combination for your Power Port for maximum response.  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
Turbosmart recommends that your Power Port is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician

lubricant and screw in clockwise until finger tight, then tighten  
further 1-2 turns for seal.  
CAUTION!  
Allow engine to cool down before installing your Power  
Port.  
Prepare Power Port for installation

Prior to mounting the Power Port, place v-band over weld on  
flange by unscrewing the bolt on the v-band as far out as  
possible and then squeezing the bolt in a syringe motion to  
expand the v-band (squeeze the dots together below). Once the  
v-band is in its fully expanded position, slide the v-band over the  
flange to allow for the Power Port to be installed. (Replacement  
V-Band Optional TS-0207-3004)  
CAUTION!  
Do NOT insert fittings and blank unless lower chamber is  
to be used as this can affect the performance of the  
product.  
Mounting your Power Port

With all fittings installed onto the Power Port, the Power Port  
can now be mounted. Place the O-ring provided onto the  
mounting flange. Align the Power Port onto the flange and  
squeeze the v-band in a syringe action to expand the v-band  
and slide over the flange and Power Port to clamp together.  
Tighten v-band bolt to 6 Nm or finger tight + 2.5 turns.  
Proceed to connect your signal lines.  
CAUTION!  
Ensure O-Ring is located between Power Port and  
mounting flange.  
Ensure signal source for BOV is located from inlet  
manifold post throttle body.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR POWER PORT BOV SPRING  
The Power Port has a variety of springs to suit different vacuum levels. Different tuning levels produce different levels of idle  
vacuum. The Power Port is fitted with a standard spring which will remain closed until the engine produces more than 16 inHg.  
Turbosmart has a range of springs to suit different vacuum levels to ensure high levels of response from the Power Port.

This pipe is located between the pressure source outlet  
and the throttle body. Remove all signal lines to Power Port.  
Unscrew v-band bolt anti-clockwise until bottomed out and  
squeeze v-band against the bolt head in a syringe like motion to  
expand the v-band clamp. Lift off Power Port while expanding v-  
band to allow for it to slide out.  
CAUTION!  
Allow engine to cool down before removing your Power  
Port.  
Remove Power Port top cap  
2
Prior to removing the Power Port cap, remove the top cap signal  
nipple by unscrewing it anti-clockwise. Hold the cap down in a  
press or a vice. Unscrew locking collar in an anti-clockwise  
direction until completely disengaged and slowly remove tension  
from vice or press allowing the spring to expand, finally remove  
cap when cap has stopped expanding.  
Configure Power Port with your preferred spring combination  
of inner, middle or outer springs.  
CAUTION!  
Ensure diaphragm is contained within the groove prior to  
cap re-assembly.

Locate cap and body notches and grooves which dictate the  
alignment of the cap. These notches are used to locate the cap  
onto the body and must be aligned prior to compression of the  
cap onto the body.  
CAUTION!  
Maintain downward pressure on cap while tightening  
collar or non repairable thread damage will occur.  
CAUTION!  
Ensure notches are aligned and seated home correctly  
prior to exerting force to tighten collar, permanent damage  
will occur if these are not aligned correctly.  
Press cap onto body

Using a vice or press, compress the cap onto the body ensuring  
the notches are remaining aligned. Once the cap has seated  
home onto the body, screw the collar down by hand in a  
clockwise direction. While still in the press or vice, tighten the  
collar further with the collar tool until the collar will not turn.  
Reinstall Power Port back onto piping by expanding v-band  
clamp in a syringe type motion and sliding Port Power port  
onto flange, clamp flange and Power Port together with v-band  
and tighten to 6 Nm or hand tight + 2.5 turns.

Safety Wire (Lock Wire)  
6
Using safety wire pliers, install safety wire onto the collar using  
the small holes provided in the collar and using a suitable fixed  
location for the opposite end. Twist the safety wire to provide  
adequate tension to prevent the collar from coming loose. A  
typical installation, but not limited to, utilises nipples fitted to one  
of the lower chamber ports. The safety wire should be made as  
short as possible and in the direction that does not allow any  
loosening of the collar.  
CAUTION!  
Do Not overtension the Safety Wire as this could cause  
damage to the BOV

TROUBLE SHOOTING  
-
Erratic Idle Check fittings are tight and O-rings are present or not damaged. Check signal hoses for splits, cracks, loose connection,  
kinking or any obstruction old or fatigued hose may collapse under vacuum causing an obstruction.  
-
BOV not actuating With engine running, remove the signal hose to the BOV, there should be a loud hissing sound, confirmation of  
vacuum can be felt by momentarily blocking this hose with a finger. Check the hose and replace if necessary.  
-
-
-
Poor BOV actuation Ensure that the signal hose is not shared and that the signal source is directly from the inlet manifold.  
Poor BOV actuation Ensure that the lower chamber ports of the BOV are not blocked when lower chamber is not being used.  
Poor BOV actuation Check the seal between the adapter and the BOV ensure that there is no gap between the BOV base and the  
flange.  
-
-
Poor BOV actuation Ensure that the spring installed is representative of your engines vacuum level.  
Failing the above, submit a technical request to tech@turbosmart.com.au with information of your engine configuration and photos of  
installation
