Electronic StraightGate eSG50 External Wastegate
Electronic StraightGate eSG50 External Wastegate
The StraightGate50 from Turbosmart is the Award Winning, World’s first butterfly style, Electronic external wastegate! The StraightGate50 is a zero-offset butterfly style wastegate which allows enormous flow and almost linear control with unparalleled boost control throughout the entire operating range.
Turbosmart’s eSG50 Electronic StraightGate is a Patent Pending, Multiple Award Winning World First Electronically Actuated Butterfly Style External Wastegate. No reference hoses, no springs and no diaphragms means full electronic control via a servo motor and Turbosmart’s zero-backdrive gearbox which results in lower current demands as well as operation stability against huge drive pressures. The eSG50 includes onboard sensors covering actuator temperature as well as valve position in both analog and digital. The Electronic actuation results in the widest possible tuning window from zero boost (if manifold priority allows for it) to all available boost.
The Turbosmart StraightGate50 has been designed from the ground up & validated in-house to create a new level of control and flow, never seen in any wastegate before it. The zero-offset butterfly valve is subjected to exhaust drive pressure equally on both halves of the valve which pivots centrally, resulting in a valve that is self-balanced against any drive pressure. This self-balancing means less work is required to actuate against even the highest of drive pressures and a wider tuning window is possible, no matter how the valve is actuated. The increased flow is achieved through the efficiency of a straight through valve versus a traditional poppet style valve where the exhaust gas must be turned 90 degrees by the valve.
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.
