"Sure, basically not enough air is expelled by the valve "
So running with a lower rate spring would allow more air out and combat this??

If you look at a stock bypass valve next to the evo and figure out a way to open them all the way. You would see the evo opens a lot more than stock also it is all metal so it will not wear and it runs two o-rings for sealing the piston I believe. The evo you can also swap the springs.

Does affect performance at all?

Yes it does effect performance, it means the turbo is not spinning as fast as it used to when you shift because all the air flowing back through the system forces against the compressor.

maybe I just dont move enough air but, with 300rwhp I have yet to have a problem wtih my lindsey racing evo bov. I will find out if its air in the future when I get a bigger turbo....I really dont forsee a problem at all. If there is I will post about it.
it bolted right up in stock location and hasent given me any trouble.

On a stock car, which I also tested the LR one on, it was fine in terms of compressor surge... this was with my bigger 60-1 HIFI turbo... I would not worry if its on a stock turbo.

Be sure to tell me at what rpm you get full boost with that.

I will be getting into touch with don about some stuff and if its even possible to have him do the work. If so I am really leaning towards vitesse chips and stage 3.
If not then its on to lindsey...they always do me right.
