hey im having a problem with my hks ssqv. I just replaced my turbo xs rfl with the hks ssqv and it doesnt blow off at all. Ive listened under the hood while my friend gassed my car and all I hear is the churckle that comes from my K&N filter. And I tried driving my car and it hit 13lbs of boost and it still doenst blow off, just compressor surge. I searched the forums over and over and I don't see a solution to the compressor surge problem. I tried to back out the non functional screw all the way but of course this did nothing. My friend has one on his SRT-4 and it sounds really nice, but for some reason my car doesnt do the same. My turbo xs worked and when I installed the hks I installed it exactly how the turbo xs was on my car. I have it T'd to the intake and boost controller and no its not recirculated. What can I do to make this thing function like its supposed to? and if you can point me in the direction of some descriptive threads on here that would be fine also. thanks alot.
 
first tri running the blow off valve directly off a vacuum from the intake manifold. and also tri taking it apart and putting alittle bit of oil on the plunger and push it in and out for a second that is what i had to do with mine.
 
Well for 1. The SRT has a completely different turbo system and can blow off almost fully at 2lbs. Most of the time the HKS SSQ will sound like compressor surge, thats how the BOV was designed.

Like Bruno said, hook it up to a constant, reliable vaccum line. It should open just fine.
