I'm running a T25 turbo with my wastegate set to boost at 9psi and have a Greddy type S BOV. So I installed my JDM engine this February and I've been running fine with my setup, BOV works perfectly with the classic Type S whistle. Then starting last week my whistle went away and now I have compressor surge. I don't have any vac leaks and I checked both the wastegate and BOV for leaks but they're both fine. I also opened up the BOV to check for rips in the diaphragm and it's good. What else could cause my compressor surge??
 
Try loosening the spring on the bov. Just turn it to softer setting on top of it. Cheap eBay bovs need to be readjusted here and there
