Awesome! Finally the numbers prove what my ass always knew! This combo has a great power band. Its not exactly a standard build in terms of the combination of parts and its nice to see proof that the combo works. This is a 2G piston/1G rod bottom end with a small chamber Hyundai head and a...

That sounds like my car.

Based on your description, the surge occurs under acceleration, with the throttle plate open, under low rpm high load conditions. What does this have to do with the BOV? Address the root cause, not the symptom. This turbo is simply not a good match for your setup. Change one or the other...

Quote: why would that turbo be so prone to compressor surge?Because Bullseye sells a bunch of cobbled together parts that don't always work well together in their intended applications. From the information given, it is hard to tell what kind of components are really on the turbo. Is it...

Quote: its a t3/to4b h-3 v trim from bullseye power Another vote for compressor surge. I am fairly certain that particular combination is very prone to compressor surge. The BOV "flutter" is a symptom, not the cause.

Quote: Interesting, so how does any factory turbo car get away with having a chambered muffler and not blow up the turbo?So you give some crap information, and now that your suggestions have come into question you are trying to argue pointlessly to somehow make yourself look better...

The Flowmasters that I have seen are a chambered design as opposed to a "straight through" perforated tube mufflers. I suspect that the chambered mufflers flow less and will create more backpressure when compared to similar size straight throught mufflers. So unless you just care about the...

Great numbers bro! Thanks for the acknowledgment, I am glad I did not lead you astray.I think the results are a testament to your attention to detail and the philosophy of maintenance before mods. This setup is ideal for a street car, and I would not change a thing other then fix the boost...

116/1000 green/sunroof is alive and well in Alabama.

The sensor is advertised as a 3 bar, and should be good to 29psi. However, I have seen many HKS map sensors fail, including mine. I do not think that the HKS sensor is capped at 25psi by design. As a solution, I am currently using the GM map and with it the VPC is linear to 29psi.

Quote: After 25 psi the VPC is pretty much done and caps airflow.How did you come up with that number?

Let me give a little background information: The car in question is #889/1000, Nile Black with sunroof. I rescued it about 2 years ago from another board member. The car had 130K miles on it, a grinding rear end and a busted center diff. I brought it back to life to serve as my daily driver...
