okay, so i hear this rumor. GT series turbo's that are Dual Ball Bearing does not require a bov? compressor surge does not hurt the turbo. is this true or no? im havin bov issues n i dont wanna run one lol. will this result in a garbage turbo or will i be okay. thanks

BOV issues?

FastLS

<_< Ball bearing pretty much means there is less resistance for it to spin, thus a faster spool usually results from a ball-bering setup. Given that it still spins like any other non-BB turbo a BOV will do the same in both instances, which is preventing backflow back into the turbo.

yes bov issues, im to poor to buy another real bov, ive been through 2 greddy type S bov's, 2 hks ssqv bov's, and an eclipse 1st gen crushed to hell lol. they all break or leak or some capola...


i dont care if it pushes the turbo ------ upside down n under its moms *****. i jus wanna know if it causes damage in anyway. i dont care for compressor surge. i like compressor surge.

I personally would run one.
