I've read into this quite a bit, but couldn't find a definitive answer to this. Some people say you should, others say they've had no issues not running one. What's yall's take on this?
Would yall recommend using a BOV w/ an anti-surge housing?

I have always run a BOV, better safe than sorry i say. However, it is important to use a quality unit. a cheap bov is a boost leak in my experience. I had a cheap HKS knock off and it was leaking at only 10 psi! My current Tial Q did not leak even at 30 psi.
Anti surge is designed to help with turbo life. As with high boost sometimes depending on the setup you can see surge in lower rpms.
It's not there to take the place of a bov.

Hvyman is absolutely correct. If anything, they do not have anything to do with one another. If you choose a Tial bov, make sure to get the correct spring based on vacuum.
Thank you.
Thank you.
From what I remember, anti-surge housings are used to combat true compressor surge (has NOTHING to do with when you let off the throttle, it's actually far more damaging and dangerous). Doesn't replace a BPV/BOV.
yeah, I plan on using a tial 50mm. was just curious. a little reading confirmed that it's there to prevent the turbo from pushing more air than the engine can take at high rpms. although some people have reported using no bypass valve and having 0 surge w/ throttle lift.
it's there to prevent stuff like this happening.

It's even cooler sounding in person...but not so cool when you realize you have to change your setup to preserve the reliability of it all.
