bov and compressor surge
well i have been driving my car for about 6 months without an intercooler and i finally had the time to put it on. The bov was closer to the turbo and it made a nice pshhh sound.
Now, it is closer to the t-body (on the cold side of the intercooler), and it flutters when i shift now. Is this compressor surge?
btw, bov is off a dsm of some sort (metal not plastic one)

Re:bov and compressor surge
what psi are you running? I had the same thing happen to me. My BOV always fluttered a bit, but once I put the IC on it got louder. It is b/c of the pressure drop for the IC. How much of a drop are you getting? I ended up opening my BOV up (not a dsm) and cutting a few turns of the srping off. Now it is blowin of fine.
Anyway, it probably isnt surge since the BOV was working before, it is jusst the sound of the BOV only partially opening.
