Functional description

The charging pressure is regulated by the engine control via a wastegate valve. The wastegate valve is adjusted pneumatically by a diaphragm box. An pressure converter applies a partial vacuum to the diaphragm box.

The engine control activates the pressure converter by means of a pulse-width modulated signal. This sets a corresponding partial vacuum at the pressure converter, and this determined the opening angle of the wastegate valve.
