Dezod praises the tial bov and his kit comes setup for 5-6 psi so you might want to consider that too. Plus they sound sick as hell but I guess any bov would sound good being turbo lol.

Rep Power: 272 sweet thanks. tial is on the list now. i was lookin at the hks ssqv as well, it says that by the way its designed it can handle any boost level without adjustment.

Rep Power: 607 I really don't consider 8-12psi low boost. You could always cut the spring on the bov, but they could leak then. The hks ssqv is a real nice choice.

Rep Power: 424 a lot of them will flutter open when there's not enough boost to force the plunger all the way open. Its not surge, its just not enough air pressure to force the plunger all the way up. You'll know when its surge.

Rep Power: 272 because with my dsm bov that i am running right now, i hear the PSSSHHH then the flutter noise following the PSH. and when running partial throttle, approaching boost or in low boost all i get is a flutter and no PSH. i think i am getting compressor surge. the bov was crushed by the previous owner of it. i think he crushed it way too much because the nipple of the bov is actually pressed against the diaphram of the bov and angled upward about 5 degrees. i removed the bov and tried pressing the plunger/piston of the bov up all the way with a very decent amount of strength and it only went up lets say, 5 millimeters. i have the turboxs type s bov coming in soon though i just need to buy the adaptor for my flange to bolt it on. after finding this out i checked if there was any shaft play on the wheel of my turbo and its as stiff as it was when i got it , no shaft play. hopefully everything works out alright. thanks for your help everyone!

Rep Power: 424 Change the valve. it may not be closing if the valve was messed up by crushing it. For cheap-sake, just put a stock 1G valve on it and see if it solves it.
