Recommended Posts

The vacuum valve on the side of the turbo (toward engine) is leaking. What is it called? Where can I get a replacement part, other then dealer?

Thanks for any replies.

If i knew what you were talking about i would tell give you some advise. If you could describe it a little better that would be great.

Do you mean the compressor bypass valve? In diagram on the right hand side, #2 of this pic:

Yes, that is the part. It is fastened to the turbo with three bolts. The diaphram is cracked and is leaking. It might also be referrid to as the wastegate servo.

Thanks for replying. Now, where can I get a new one?

I just contacted the local Volvo dealer. It's called "Repair Kit". Cost $210. YIKES!!

Anyone know where I can order directly from a turbo rebuilder?

try calling up dodge and asking for a cbv replacement for your srt4, the bypass valve is identical, i do believe someone on ebay sells only the diaphragm; im unsure at how much it costs though.

I checked out that part. It's made by Forge and available for $115. It looks to be too thick for the Volvo application. I had trouble getting mine off with the turbo still attached to the engine. I'll check it out though.

Thanks.

no the forge part is aftermarket for the srt4.

and yes that fits as well, i've confirmed it, just besure you get the cbv and not the bov replacement from forge as it will not fit.

im talking about the stock mopar compressor bypass valve, its IDENTICAL.

i ran it on my turbo for a couple months.. they're even stamped the same.

I can send you a used one that does not leak for $25, shipped. I have 3-4 at home, I replace them with blanking plates on the turbos, and I don't plan on using them unless someone specifically asks to have one installed on the turbo.

I put everything back together and plugged the vacuum ports on the manifold and the valve. My vacuum is back to 20.5 at idle. The car runs great. We'l see if the CEL goes off.

If I don't plan to repalce the valve, do I relly need a blocking plate? If there is no vacuum applied the spring holds the valve closed, right.

Did you disable the CBV? very bad idea if you are planning on keeping it that way.
