Compressor surge is hard to explain, it kinda sounds like a snake or the best way I can describe it is by...you every watch the Jason movies? You know his theme song? The "che che che ha ha ha" well compressor surge sounds like the "che che che" part of it.


I have a Greddy Type-S and it was fighting me for a while with compressor surge. I had to move it around a little and eventually I got it to work good. I tried that method suggested in the FAQ on connecting the nipple to the compressor and I didn't like the sound of it.

 

the best way to explain it is: you will know what it is when you hear it :P

 

just watch any of those japanese best motoring videos with turbo silvias and whatnot they don't run bov's for some reason. must be that whole "compressor surge isn't bad for the turbo" argument. anyway, i bought my apex-i dual stage bov for $65 on ebay. =)

 

I wouldnt start by cutting that spring in half, you could end up with a leaky BOV. Try starting with 1/5 of the spring and go from there. good luck!

 

silvias....and most stock turbo cars are NOT speed density, meaning they dont run a MAP sensor, and if the 'blow off' the car will run hella rich and will usually stall out....
