[Supras] blowoff valve recommendation

For the last two weeks I've been getting my jollies by driving my '91
with 550cc injectors, 57 trim turbo, Walbro, Lexus, 3" exhaust from
turbo back, etc. However, a disturbing boing-oing-oing sound has
persisted from the air intake when closing the throttle under 15 PSI
boost. Spoke to James at Performance Techniques about this, and he says
it is compressor surge, which I suspected. From all I have read, using
the Bosch Porsche right angle blowoff valve should have been sufficient,
but it is not. I get the sound even at low boost.
So I'm looking for recommendations as to which BOV to use. I would like
to recirculate to the accordion hose, even if I need to cut a hole in it
and use curved, clamped large washer-like pieces on the inside and
outside to provide a large bung for the BOV discharge.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
BernieK. PS: Arlene and others were right. There is never enough
power even if you can "walk" the tires in second gear. Starting to
wonder what to do next for more HP.
