Ok so ive see some cars running the same setup but not getting any compressor surge, but mine is out of control. It does that sprinkler sound way too long. Ive read on some SRT forums that theres a screw to adjust it? Has anyone heard of this?

 

i think theres a way to adjust it.. try google it?

 

Depends on how old the HKS is. If it's the older one, there is an adjustment screw on the back. If it's a newer one, they eliminated that for some reason.

 

I think the older HKS has the adjustment, i dont think the new one has or I will figure out.. it that the lil air you hear on vacuum? that could just be the bov venting lil air when not in boost..

 

its when its blowing off,, but yea its a new one - thats why i didnt find the screw :/

guess its time for the synapse BOV?

 

how bad does it surge? my doesnt surge that much,but try the synapse if you want.. it might solve it

 

Where is your VAC source from?

 

i have a crap load of surge aswell.

 

i had surge all day long and fixed it with a synchronic BOV, may want to look into upgrading. also make sure your vac source for the bov is not on the wastegate vac source, that could cause some flutter (like mine did).

 

I had crazy surge when I was running the new version HKS on my dezod kit and I switched it out to the Synapse synchronic bov and it got rid of the compressor surge/ flutter dump almost 100%

I loved it but my turbo kit is no longer and I have my Synapse bov for sale if you want it.

 

I don't have any surge with my HKS...

 

x2, but i have the old edition on a zpi stage 0

 

i had surge with my hks and being that i didn't know much about turbos before i switched it out...i didn't realize it was surge.

 

I had the same results with my turbonetics kit. The Synapse fixed it 100%. It's really a darn nice piece.

 

The vac source is tapped in near the firewall, its pretty far from the vac line going to the waste gate.

Mr. Meaty - what did you do differently?

 

I have a vac block, and my bov, WG and boost gauge are all plugged into it.
I think I may have a bigger turbo then most of you, and I have a newer HKS then aen did...
I also have a 3" intake pipe...and maybe the EL Manifold helps a little?

 

i have the new HKS, and i guess ur turbo size and intkae pipe size may effect the BOV but i dont see how it would really make that difference....

 

Add me to the list of HKS users that switched to Synapse. No more surge among other problems that were fixed!

 

i was hoping to sell my HKS... guess that wont be easy since everyone is switching lol

 

Ebay it, you may get more since it's universal.
