    Abstract: A method of controlling exhaust gas delivery between two turbochargers is disclosed. Exhaust gas is delivered to a first turbocharger through a first exhaust conduit. A valve is opened to allow at least some of the exhaust gas from the first exhaust conduit to bypass the first turbocharger through a second exhaust conduit delivering bypassing exhaust gas to a second turbocharger when the first turbocharger reaches a predefined operating speed or when the manifold pressure upstream of the first turbocharger reaches a predefined pressure.

    Abstract: A control system for an engine comprising a turbocharger includes a cold light off catalyst (CLOC), a main catalyst, a CLOC valve, and a controller. The CLOC is positioned in a bypass passage around a turbine of the turbocharger. The main catalyst is disposed downstream of the turbine and the CLOC. The CLOC valve selectively routes exhaust flow from the engine between the turbine and the CLOC. The controller determines whether a temperature of the main catalyst is less than a threshold; commands a CLOC mode wherein the CLOC valve routes at least some exhaust to the CLOC based on the temperature being less than the threshold; determines whether a boost is requested at the engine; determines whether a full turbine input is needed to satisfy the requested boost; and disables the CLOC mode based on a determination that a full turbine input is needed.

    Abstract: A system and methods for a turbo-boost control system are disclosed for providing a driver of a vehicle with greater control over vehicle performance. The turbo-boost control system instructs an electronic control unit of the vehicle to increase the manifold pressure to a higher level before releasing the pressure through a waste gate so as to provide a greater power output of the engine. The turbo-boost control system includes a control module, a wiring harness, and a signal adjuster. The wiring harness couples the control module with a turbo inlet pressure sensor, a manifold absolute pressure sensor, and an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The control module sends signals to the electronic control unit based on input readings from the turbo inlet pressure sensor and the manifold absolute pressure sensor. The signal adjuster includes a rheostat that enables manual adjustment of the power output of the engine.
