I had a k24 on a 1.6L making 35psi with nitrous. No surge. BOV's don't belong here.

As libbybapa says, BOVs are for when the throttle plate shuts and you're still making +20PSI it will blow off pressure to keep the turbo from killing itself or blowing off any of your intake hoses.

The only reason I make this comment is because some Newbie might read this in the future and think that the above comment might mean that "BOV's are needed when the throttle plate shuts".Obviously I'm stating the obvious. :roll:
