Re: Compressor Surge?
Compressor surge comes from the turbo, usually during spoolup. It happens when a big turbo spools too fast for a small motor. The turbo puts out more air than the engine can take in and the flow starts backing up all the way to the turbo compressor housing. Eventually the flow backing up causes the turbo to stop or go backward, which is quite hard on it. That is compressor surge.
