I have tried searching everywhere for answers on both BOVs but can't come up with anything.

So the situation is I have both the bovs. The problem is both these bovs are giving me compressor surge at light throttle.

Surge would mean spring is too stif,so the SSQV is as loose as it can get but still doing it.

On the type s,the valve is open at idle because the vacuum was pulling it open,I adjusted the screw on top so that it stays shut at idle,yes it stays shut at idle but it's too stiff to vent at even medium throttle.

The car is running stock boost (rb25) so I'm thinking boost might need to be raised to overcome spring pressure?

Even at light throttle (low boost-5 psi?) with it surging it wouldn't be enough to hurt the turbo?

Any help would be great.

OK. I'll bite. How the hell could it be surging at light load? There is no boost, and even if there is a little bosot you would be so far away from the turbo's surge line that there can be no surge.

If it's 100% recirculated then wind the spring off so that it is sucked open at idle and light load, like it should be.

You should just run the stock BOV, those fully sick atmospheric BOVs are trouble. Trouble with cops, trouble with fuel economy, trouble with randoming stalling, trouble with wallet, etc.

Why won't you use the stock one?

That idle stabiliser thng would help, but you're just installing a band aid on the self inflicted wound.

Also that fluttering won't damage any turbos, it is a myth. I've gone from stock to high flows to aftermarket turbos and never run any form of BOV and have never seen a turbo let go on me. Currently on my latest fridge, I'm not running a BOV either at 0.8bar on the stock ceramic snail. Still going strong, will trash it at Eastern Creek next weekend too.

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
