eBG50 Electronic BoostGate 50 Charge Air Valve
eBG50 Electronic BoostGate 50 Charge Air Valve
The Turbosmart BoostGate 50 is an electronically controlled butterfly-style valve designed for charge pipe boost control. It is manufactured from Billet Aluminum for reduced mass and features the kind of control and flow you expect from the StraightGate series of Turbosmart products.
Unlike a traditional external wastegate, which bypasses gas around the turbine housing aiming to reduce turbocharger shaft speed and effectively, boost levels – Charge Air control is a controlled bleed of the compressed air on the cold side of the turbocharger system. Mounted to the charge pipe, the BoostGate 50 can be used to modulate this air flow directly, rather than the indirect method of traditional control.
Charge-Air Control is specifically suited to applications such as drag racing where turbocharger specifications have already been optimized, and the turbine is not the limiting performance factor. The BoostGate 50 is a zero offset butterfly-styled valve that enables incredible resolution, enormous flow and the kind of boost control required to deliver the perfect pass, every time. Equipped with the Patent Pending Zero-Backdrive gearbox technology to reduce overall power consumption and maximize response, the BoostGate 50 is Engineered to Win!

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Keep your Turbosmart components working flawlessly with simple, periodic maintenance. Reliability is built in, but routine care maintains maximum performance.
- Blow-Off Valves (BOVs): To ensure a quick, clean seal, the piston and bore should be cleaned and lightly lubricated every six months.What to use: Use a soft cloth to clean and lubricate the piston with a non-viscous oil (like sewing machine oil or hydraulic oil).What NOT to use: Avoid heavy grease or thick oils, as they can slow down valve operation.
- Wastegates & Boost Controllers: Focus on system integrity. Regularly inspect all vacuum/pressure hoses and fittings for cracks, splits, or leaks, which are critical for precise boost control.
- eGates (Electronic Wastegates): Periodically apply spray grease to the butterfly valve gearbox mechanism for smooth movement.
Always check your specific product's manual for detailed steps. Simple maintenance ensures consistent boost and extends the life of your turbo system.
