Why are you running two BOV's? And I've been running a Tial on my car for 2 and a half years now and anything under 11 psi it flutters. My turbo is still just fine.

I wanted to eliminate the possibility of the bov system killing my turbos and so far it has worked great for me.

I'm going to bump this thread up again because i know i have this issue with the galant now...i hope I'm not hijacking this thread. I will post videos of it soon. It's weird because I have the greddy type-s bov and I've adjusted the spring to it's softest and it's still doing surging while on a stand still and it feels like it is dangerously surging after a uphill cruise.

First things first, I really doubt that is compressor surge, especially at a stand still, that is basically impossible. Are you just talking about BOV flutter? What is it actually doing?

here we go! i got a video up....ugh...i feel bad for driving it around this way. anyways, just a heads up that this is a MAF from the 95-96 Summit Wagon/Vans. it is just temprorary because I'm cleaning the HKS filter from the original one.

EDIT: you can hear it after 13 seconds.

Holy noise, batman! That didn't seem like very much, and you can't build much boost just free revving it.

^^lol...yeah i guess. but is this the 'infamous' pressurized air going into the turbo instead of going to the bov?!!

Sounds more like flutter to me. Like others have said, would be hard to get surge at idle.

Especially using a turbo small enough to use the stock intake.
