Abstract
An intake system of a V-type internal combustion engine equipped with a turbocharger. The intake system is has an air intake passageway which is branched at a branched section into first and second downstream air intake passageways which are respectively communicable with first and second banks of the engine. First and second throttle valves are disposed respectively in the first and second downstream air intake passageways. Intake air is bypassed from the branched section through the air bypass passage to an upstream side of the turbocharger compressor when the throttle valves are closed in order to prevent an excessive pressure rise in an upstream side of the throttle valves. The air flow through the air bypass passage is controlled by an air bypass valve disposed in the air bypass passage near the branched section.
