Thats sick, I Love compressor surge, it was louder than my bov and a much nicer sound.

and wtf @ the running with no bov comments, as if atmospheric bov’s weren’t ricer enough people are running bov-less for cool sounds now?!

no im not running it for the cool ricer sound. i just want to figure out which one i want. im thinking about goin with tial but im not sure. and im kinda broke atm. i tossed around the idea of putting a 350 chevy in it. but then i just realized its pretty gay. but you can pretty much build a 400+ hp 350 for about 2 grand at most. i still might build a s13 hatch drag car with a 350 and a solid axel gutted and caged.

I wasn’t running without a bov, just i got a cheap bov when i first put my turbo on and well the bov didn’t work. I got a good bov that works now, but the compressor surge was a cool sound.

i got a apexi avc-r to regulate the boost. im gonna runn off the wastegate spring for a little bit until i get the car running right then ill put the avc-r in. for ems when i get the 2871 i was thinking apexi power fc but i might just go all out and just to aem. well see

id say go with the PFC. lots of 240 guys have had much better luck with it, more so than the aem unit.
