Exclamation Choosing solution to compressor surge?

I don't know if I should do a ats compressor housing or BDP exhaust turbine housing or both. The BDP exhaust housing is non-wastegated and deletes the EBPV, I want to do a EBPV exhaust brake. What other solutions are ther out there?

I opted by doing the WW instead of going to the ATS. Their are a few threads out there about both options.

You can go with a wastgated 1.0 housing and still keep your ebpv for your brake. The turbine housings will net you more performance gains over a ATS housing and do away with surge as well.

How do those work for controlling EGT?
I cannot tow with anything other than stock tune and I have 5" exhaust, AIS intake, stock injectors.
EGT easily hits 1300 with Diablo Predator Tow/Haul tune on a long pull.

A larger housing will let the engine breathe easier and this brings the egts down.

Can you use your stock wheel with a 1.0 ATS housing or do you have to change to a Wicked Wheel?

I don't know what else it would be. Sounds high pitched eratic chirping at boost at higher rpm usually in 4th when shifts to 5th it goes away

I pull with Diablo at tow/haul and my edge on tow/haul and don't have any problems I will peak out EGT's at 1200 on a steep hill usually my truck defuels because I haven't installed the overboost. Then maybe that will happen. The edge will also defuel me to if I sustain EGT's of 1350. By long pull do you mean up a grade?

My early '99 will surge when towing 10000# merging onto the freeway. I'm not even on it hard, 1/2-3/4 throttle
