ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Compressor inlet control devices control the pressure level at the inlet of a compressor (18) which is operated by an engine (10) equipped with a turbocharger (12) that maintains the intake manifold (16) of the engine (10) at pressure levels greater than atmospheric for most engine operating conditions. A valve (20) limits the pressure level at the inlet of the compressor (18) to a predetermined pressure level to prevent damage to the compressor (18). The valve (20) includes a pressure differential responsive piston (36) which responds to the pressure level at the valve inlet (52) to close a pair of valve members (60,62) to terminate communication between the valve inlet (52) and outlet (54) when the pressure level at the inlet (52) exceeds the predetermined pressure level, and to initiate communication between the inlet (52) and outlet (54) when the pressure level drops below the predetermined pressure level.
