when i first got my car, someone had the stock bov vented to atmosphere and it would bog or die between shifts/ when clutched in. they even had the accordian hose nipple covered with MASKING tape, colored with SHARPIE!
hahaha i dont understand how they drove it that way if they did all that themselves, and immediately afterward, the car would die all the time.. but to each his/her own i guess.. the car did go "pshh" when i first got it... but the recirc compressor surge sounds cooler anyway.
which brings me to a question that i have: my car has an intake, full 3" turbo back, and a big intercooler with 2.5" piping. i am getting some serious compressor surge, and it doesnt seem as if my car ever really 'blows off.' the intercooler piping kit i got was supposed to replace the 3000 pipe, but i didnt install that section of piping because the nipple at the end of the stock 3000 pipe that runs to the stock bov wasnt on the aftermarket piping.
my car is boosting a steady 7 lbs and im ready to up the boost a little bit (clear of fuel cut..) and id like to install that last bit of intercooler piping, along with a 'freddy' bov from driftmotion on a 2.5" flange. am i going to be able to recirc back into the stock nipple on the accordian hose w/o running a line from the 3000 pipe to the bov? straight from the bov to the accordian nipple with a 1" hose?
basically what im asking is, how do you replace the 3000 pipe with staight intercooler piping and recirculate an aftermarket blowoff? im worried about too much compressor surge, especially if i start running more boost, and i dont think my stock bov is gonna cut it.
anybody doing this? seems like kind of an 'in between' stage for modifications... where you have to stop simply bolting things up and actually have to think about what youre doing for a minute (if youre turbo system illiterate like me, that is)
thanks
