OK I had a crappy turbo xs bov the cheapest one and got compressor surge, now I have the apexi twin chamber I just got today, It still barely blows off its like a quick pitiful psst but my car still flutter like compressor surge like it always has.. I have the vac line hooked right from where the stock vac lin for the bypass valve went, no "T's".How would i adjust my apex bov for the best flow for 10psi, really soft or hard, any input would be great.

Having any BOV, it's strange that you're experiencing compressor surge. I don't suppose our cars had stock shutter valves did they? I know that in my friend's CA18'd 240SX, he has no BOV, but the shutter valve sounds just LIKE compressor surge where it's like "chu chu chu chuuu" somethin like that..
As long as all the vacuum lines are hooked up correctly, you shouldn't be experiencing compressor surge.

are you sure your just mistaking compressor surge for hesitation because your BOV is venting to atmosphere instead of back into the intake?? Im not sure if you are running a stand alone or the stock ecu. But the stock ecu gets grumpy if your BOV vents to atmosphere....

Is your waste gate ported?
In the cold winter air, the turbo puts out way more boost.

Dont have one i dont think, what line would it have been in?I think I have them somewhere, I hope.
Some Tee off that hose for the BOV, you just need to Tee on the manifold side of the restrictor.
It sounds like you ran a seperate hose. Cool..
