  • i like the compression surge sound, like the way yours sounds, how much boost was this at?

  • 22psi. Real compressor surge is not healthy for the turbo. It can significantly decrease its lifespan. That being said I upgraded to a TurboSmart Race Port which sounds completely different but eliminates the possibility of compressor surge.

  • No....when fully spooled its more of a normal BOV sound.

  • what is it set too? 100% atmospheric or half and half or what?

  • Its 100% vented to teh atmosphere. I actually just upgraded to the Turbosmart Raceport valve as I will be pushing a bit more boost soon. Sounds about the same but vents substantially more air.

  • well it seriously sounds like compressor surge to me

  • I agree it does "sound" like it. Fortunately it is not. Under light boost the turbosmart valves sound like that. Under heavy boost it sounds a bit more like a normal BOV.

see all

  • Please man, tell me what bov this is! I have to have it! and search for more clips of it! I know you put its a Turbosmart single exit...but witch one is it? a Turbosmart Kompact?

  • there are several different BOVs available from Turbosmart and they all sound different, look up Turbosmart66 Channel.

  • i love the "compression surge" sound. hopefully it soundslike this when i get it

  • it sounds like that under low load because it IS surging. it probably isn't harmful. if you are worried about it surging though you'll probably have to adjust the spring for lower pressure
