Okay, so I got a SBR G60 with the big 4" anti-surge compressor housing.
Basically, I've heard of some of the big time turbo users (80mm turbos and such) not using BOV's because their turbos have antisurge housings. What is the relevance of this? Is it because they're just not seeing boost on a frequent basis as someone who would DD their car, but instead only uses it for a few "go big or go home shifts" down the track and then park it until the next pass....?
Does the housing eliminate the need for a BOV, or just help diminish the negative effects of Compressor surge in the event that it happens? Can anyone clarify this for me?
Thanks.
