I have Blitz bov on my car with s15 turbo at stock boost.
the bov is having a serious compressor surge ever since i got the car. I am just wondering are all the blitz like that or just mine is bad?

I have heard from my friends that compressor surge is not good for my turbo...so im thinking should i change brand or just buy a new blitz?

your bov is having compressor surge?? what? lol.
And no, compressor surge is really bad.
If you mean your bov is fluttering, thats normal.

Old and new Blitz BOV leak. Had a friend who had the first gen Blitz BOV that would leak at part throttle.

ive got an old school blitz dd..I noticed too when I put in my s15 turbo that my bov wasnt blowing off.. and all I did was losen the bolt retaining the spring a few turns and now it works fine..

so you're saying its not opening. adjust the bov and see if that fixes it.

it opens like only half.....just now i tried to tighten the screw on the top of the bov...it was tight already..and i tried to tighten it more, but it still did the same thing :(

If it is not blowing off, you want to LOOSEN it.....

There's always a compromise between compressor surge and keeping the BOV closed under partial throttle let-off

What do you mean when you say it only opens half?

u know u can see the door on the bov, right?
when i release the throttle, it should open all the way, but it only opens half or less

it might be your vacuum source, where are you running it from? remember to not have anything else tee'd off of it
