I've tried searching for days (not only here but on other forums as well) along with trying out different things. I have the turbo (t25) set at 9psi.
Basically, I have a greddy type s blow off valve with an RX7 flange/pipe. I decided to mount it in the stock location seeing that i had extra hoses and such. I also wanted to keep the stock look (california). Heres a pic of what it looks like

first off, i kept getting compressor surge no matter how i adjusted the bov. I read that people take out the bigger spring of the two springs inside, so i did. After i did this, I eventually got to the point of no more compressor surge after the adjusting screw is in about half way.
SO heres my problem:
If i boost UP to 3000RPM and let off the throttle, i get no compressor surge. But anything over 3000RPM, i get surge. Either situation im at full (9psi) boost.
Adjusting the bov screw barely does anything apparently; i even took out the screw entirely and it did nothing (engine idle-wise). I thought it was supposed to leak without the screw.
I have the upper (bigger of the two) nipple connected to the corresponding nipple on the throttle body. I also tried connecting the lower nipple to the wastegate, reason being that i read this would help get rid of the compressor
surge; i still got compressor surge with or without connecting the lower nipple.
Should i cough up the money and just get a flange/pipe for the hotpipe and plug up the SMIC, or is there something i can do about this? Im out of ideas. :cry:
