Should my BOV...
I just bought a blitz SS BOV for my T2 with the stock intercooler up pipe replacement so it bolts right into a stock set-up. My question is how I should have the BOV set. When I drop the clutch at 8lbs boost it realeases pressure just fine. However, if I release the accelerator, no clutch, it does not relieve pressure even at 8+ lbs. boost. I'm afraid that built up pressure if not released may be harming my system. Should the BOV release when I let off the gas under boosting conditions? If so, should I loosen the BOV? I'm currently boosting 10-12lbs.
Thanks,
Damon

I have a stock turbo and notice that above 5000rpm and high boost the bov always releases loudly. below that and it's almost innaudible. What does compressor surge sound like?

After a little searching I confirmed what i thought compressor surge sounded like. My T2 doesn't indicate any compressor surge. I guess the problem is that it barely makes a sound to let me know if it's working until I reach 9-10lbs. or 5000rpm. Is this OK?

thanks guys! I think I'm going to put my stocker BOV on until i get a Greddy RS. If anyone wants to buy my Blitz SS with Up pipe for stock mounting set-up let me know. It sounds nasty at high rpm and boost. I'll sell it 130.00 shipped in U.S.
