personally, i don't think this warrants a separate thread but not sure where else I could ask

 

 

has the dump valve of the camera car got like a special name, and is it different in anyway to a normal one, or is it just the sound.

 

i think Jeremy Clarkson once described it on top gear as like squirrels being fed into the engine ha

As far as I understand it, compressor stall occurs when you dont have a blow off / dump valve, and so when the throttle is closed, pressure remains between the compressor and the intake, and the only route for it to take is back through the compressor, causing it to 'stall'. the noise it makes is the air being 'chopped' so to speak by the compressor blades. correct me if im wrong?

Hmm, Comp stall occurs in all TT supra's i believe. I get it in my Supe if you hit it at the right revs and most members will have the same thing...

I think it's more extreme in a single turbo Supra as the boost is alot higher hence the more air is bring pushed back into the compressor causing it to stall...

I got no stall at all in mine with a stock BOV. When i changed to an SSQV I'd get a bit of stall if i lifted off too gently for the SSQV to open.

Stall (or compressor surge) happens, as mentioned, when the the throttle closes and the build up boost has ne where to go but back into the turbo compressor. This is the sound you hear and the point of a BOV (either the bypass type as stock or the vent-to-atmosphere type most people add).

The myth about it only being possible in large single turbo setup is due to the higher air flow, the more pressure is needed to be releaved through a BOV that might not handle it. Therefore big setups sometimes use dual BOVs.

Some say it hurts the turbo since the pressured air slows the compressor down faster that it would on its own and there might be something about that but you would probably need quite a lot of presse for it to really matter.

One thing is for certain though, is that it does do any good, functional speaking. It might sound good, but who wants their turbo to quicker slow down than nessesary between shifts? That will only lead to longer time to build boost again...

I'm afraid that compressor surge is something completely different to compressor stall;)
