for the compressor surge, try cutting off a coil from the bov spring, cut another coil til it stops compressor surging. you're bov is to hard to open.

I've been under the impression that a compressor housing with a higher a/r will ------ out the map, keeping you off the surgeline. I don't know if holset makes one for your application. If they do, I don't think it will clear your manifold or block.

Did you balance the turbo when you swapped on the compressor housing ?

If not, and its fine.

Im buying me a holset housing and wheel lol.

No, I told you it would spool, but that nobody could tell you where it would spool at.
