I read that compresoor surge is nothing but a myth and that it does not kill turbo's.

Is it proven that compressor sure really doen in fact kill your turbo?

Use a BOV, period... Personal experience here, I had a BOV that failed on me, I was new to turbos, so I thought that "fluv fluv fluv" noise was normal... Within 3-4 weeks, my turbo had a melt down... *blew the seals* So for sure, use the BOV... If you dont like the noise, just get a quiet one, or one that plumbs back into the system...

Who told you that?

I read about it somewhere before but I never gave it any thought. Until the other day this s14 driver comes up to me and reminds me of it. He said he has a sr20 swap with no bpv or bov. I mentioned he can reduce the lifespan of his turbo if he keeps driving it like that. He replies back saying "thats nothing but a urban myth and has never been proven before". He sounded quite convincing and I got curious to know the real answer so I asked you guys.:icon_bigg

I do feel kind of stupid for asking such a question though.:3d_frown:
