Anyone Had Roblems With Compressor Reversion

[im late]

You mean most of the time with the factory piping you will not have the issue.

Hearing it vs actually having it - are distinctly different in my opinion

It's well known that hard piping kits can cause the comp surge (using 2530's/garrett -5s) as the factory ribbed piping actually flexes a bit which can stop the problem from occuring at all.

There is lots to be said for some OEM stuff - and the intake piping is one of those such items.

And yes i understand factory piping doesnt look good etc, but it most certainly serves a clear purpose.

Yes Ash, and another bad thing about aftermarket piping is that it is one extra thing that the cops will pick on you for.

mmmmm elaorate...............

I would but it would point out my utter stupudity (see I'm not afraid to tell the world I f^$ked up)

Oh well I will then

Built motor, -5's, tuned by a mob which I thought new what they were doing, ingnored the compression surge (which the tuner pointed out as well), ignored the PFC flashing the exhaust light.....bang, crack on bore 5.

No I am NOT saying that compression surge was THE casue of the problem, but I am sure it did not help things overall.

Lets get back on topic now.

Hang on... compressor surge was the reason given for your motor splitting a bore?

There was no reason given. I did not say that.

You said it did not help things... it had nothing to do with you splitting a bore.

That was poor motor assembly, nothing more. Comp surge had zero to do with it, i don't even know why you'd mention it in the same sentence.

Same sentence or not, I was merely replying to a request from the topic starter to elaborate.

It was in the same sentence but it was not a cause of the motor failing. It was merely just another separate issue that I did not bother to fix.

Is that more accurate? Is everyone happy now?

Nice write up here explaining surge, reversion, and how it happens.
