My bov is still causing compressor surge, just because tial bovs suck!! lol but other then that the car sounds nasty open wg and it pulls hard!!!
My gaskets come in today...im hoping that fixes my issue and I can go back driving my car again! not driving my girls saturn or hitching a ride. Kenny did me good he sent me the gaskets free and 2 dayed at not cost to me with my pnp harness. So tonight ill install the new gasket and warp all the piping and hope the new gaskets fix the issue.

Did the blown gasket just cause a loss of power?

Yeh it could cause some power loss, Also before I was running the wg into the downpipe witch was restricking the flow. Now with the open WG dump it seems to haul a little more ___ lol, Its the throw you back in your seat type pull now... I need a SSQ bov as Tials suck, that should stop the stalling, The car is stalling around every corner even with colder plugs and proper gapping... DAMN YOU TIAL!

The SSQ and tial flangs are very close if you have a tial "clamp" you can make a SSQ work on a Tial flange but like I said thats ghetto...

Being the car is MAF and the BOV vents to atmosphere yes it can cause stalling...

Dont think the HKS SSQV will help you out... it still vents to atmosphere like the tial..
but you can get a recirc. kit for the HKS unlike the tial.

Exactly my point!! lol

And yes the SSQ will take care of the surge problem even if it is vented to atmosphere...

It might cause you trouble later if you add a FMIC...
I own a vented SSQV on my DSM but have a GM Maf and translator...

But before I would get crazy compressor surge on low boost levels on my 16g.. Low boost and HKS didnt work for me.

Hopefully our tC is a differnet case. Keep us updated.

I would like to know how to combat the stalling as well. As I am looking to purchasing the Stage 0 in April.

I think zpi offers your choice of wastegates with the purchase which is why the price is lower. Ask them which one to get so to avoid the issue

If you are staying over till the next day (4th), then we will more than likely (usually) go out for lunch or dinner with Kenny and the gang. So, stick around if you can. Your right, the more people the better... I'm also bringing another local, he drives an xA.
