Another bov/Compressor surge problem

[cspaid]

I just did a complete front mount intercooler. I have a knock off type rs bov. I still have compressor surge and its just louder. I loosen bov all the way and made sure my boost source was good and it still does it.

I thinking its either faulty bov or im not running enough boost to open it. I am running stock 5-6 psi.

What should I do?

So my buddy came by with another knock off type s bov and it still did the same exact thing.

Anyone?

Which side of the bov did you hook the vacuum hose up to?

I hooked vac hose up to 2 different nipples on the intake manifold with new vac lines and no changes.

I think thats what your asking me.

Did you ever consider not using a knock-off BOV?

Yes but my problem probally isnt that Ive used them before without any issues.

I guess ill buy a name brand. I just got laid off so i hope i dont waste my money.

I still had compressor surge too with my fmic and my greddy type rs (real) located by the throttle body. But your gonna still have it without the stock by-pass valve in the system. I just got a hks ssqv (real) i had laying around and put that in the hot pipe right after the turbo so i had one at the tb and one at the turbo and no more surge.

open the BOV and remove the middle of the 2 springs.
