I'm definitely keeping the car now!
Been driving my turbo mustang lately. Took it down to Sunshine wednesday night for TNT. Didn't make any passes, but enjoyed the drive. As I'm pulling onto McMullen Booth Rd at Boot Ranch, I'm driving next to this decent looking Honda. I'm in the top of 2nd gear when the guy in front of me comes to a stop. I let out of the gas and got a very loud and very cool compressor surge (no BOV). It scared the shit out of the cute girls in the Honda (windows were down) and at the next light they asked if I had a turbo 
. I love driving the car, and even if it never gets any faster, it still puts a smile on my face whenever I drive it, knowing that I did all of the work (with some help from friends) and didn't pay anyone to do anything.

Yeah it is defently fun. I love the by-pass valve set up since no one hears it. Makes for the car to be a real sleeper!

im using a stock, crushed bov and its pretty loud for being recirculated. I must admit that nothing to me sounds better than a turbo car. Not just the bov, but the turbo screaming as it reaches full boost. Mmmm mmmm Ive been contemplating an open atmosphere O2 dump

i think i have the same problem... i dont think my BOV is actually opening when i let off the throttle... cuz it makes loud noises, and it is a bad thing cuz it creates increased thrust loading on the compressor wheel when the throttle snaps shut... its compressor surge... its bad during prolonged periods. but it wont kill the turbo if you use it for a few test drives... just dont let it go on for long.
and i dont wanna hear how the GN's and the T-types dont have BOV's and do just fine w/o them..
