Hmmm......lets see....Using a little deductive reasoning here. He has 4 posts, and an all stock GN, and is asking about a noise which anyone who has owned a TR knows about, so yeah, I would say he may be new to these cars. Of course, I could be wrong, but it seems logical.
YOU need to read my post, I said that YOU said "A BOV would fix the PROBLEM". Not that he thought he had a problem. The only time I jump into a post to say something about BOV's is when its newcomer to the board and probably the TR in general and you start this BOV crap, and I think it might cause some paranoia to someone who might not know better. You see what I'm saying?
If this guy had all the mods in the world and asked about BOV's, then I probably wouldn't say much except that I don't feel we need them, IMO. As far as splitting heirs, well, If you are going to give someone information, I usually try to use the correct terms, since "compressor surge" is a whole different problem. And one day when you get a big turbo, you might find out what it really is, and guess what? Your BOV will not help, pretty much nothing does. You can lessen the severity of it, but its just a bi product of using a big turbo. If you think the sound is annoying now, wait till its doing it while you're on the throttle.
Like I said, I'm not an expert, never claimed to be. Thats a phrase you came up with. I'm just passing along information from several experienced board members and Tr mechanics. And my personal experience. But since I obviously know far less than you, I'll shut up. Theres no point in arguing, it'll just whittle down into who's car is faster or something, and that wouldn't be fair, would it?
