Compressor Surge on s14 sr20

I didn't read the whole thread, just the first post.

That BOV is garbage can material.

Wrecked a friend new 50 trim in about 75 miles.

I am sure the damage is less on a stock turbo, but it makes sense that once you let the turbo create more volume, it cannot vent it, HENCE FORTH, creating surge.

So get a better blow off valve.

i am having the same problem with my tial as i said above. and i know thats not a garbage bov and yes it is genuine, i ordered it from full-race. i was thinking of putting some washers on top of the spring on mine to preload it and see if that helps at all, this would be the same thing as loosening a adjustable one.

Pre-loading the spring will actually make it take MORE change in vacuum to get it to open, not less. Order up the spring set, and try the softer spring; most likely, you'll go back to the suggested spring and learn to live with a little compressor surge. And like Matej says... its cool =P
