Real compressor surge happens when a turbo puts out more airflow than the motor can injest. It is somewhat rare on DSMs. Pretty much you need a big turbo that is spooling too quick for its size. I think Nash and Blake have experienced it on their cars. It is a much more common problem on Supras. It has nothing to do with BOVs.

I think Robert at FP calls what you are thinking of "internet surge", because every newbie on the internet thinks that the fluttering noise that a tight BOV makes is compressor surge. Just about any BOV is fine as long as it doesn't leak.
