Angry Compressor Surge

I "upgraded" to a knockoff BOV

Now, I had a factory new 14B that worked great, however I was using a knockoff bov and it alwasy "fluttered" couldn't make it go away.

A couple days later the innocent 14B blew up, the smoke my car made was epic!!! (the turbine wheel broke off, and dented my tubular O2 housing)

That turbo is a victim of compressor surge.

I have never liked crushing the 1G bov, so I leave them un-crushed

After reading the following mods, I decided to try this.

And now I have a ruined e3-16G and a ruined bullseye v-trim.

WTF guys? is any fluttering of a BOV acceptable? or should it be clean "pffffft" after letting off of the throttle?

I don't want to ruin my SC61.
