thats because the GN was an auto car. you let off the gas less, so less need for a bov

Re:Compressor Surge

Update, the guy with the Impreza fixed the problem by taking apart his blitz bov, cutting the spring in half

and putting it back together. Seems to work fine now.

Re:Compressor Surge

Same here, fixed it by going to a Tractor parts dealer with my BOV Spring and found a Lighter spring, Trimmed it to length and then put it asll together, Sounds cool now, The BOV Works great in vacuum, stays open JUST before boost, then you can noticablitly here it close and like 7 hg/cm and then open at closed throttle
