Compressor Surge

[iceminion]

Goatblower: Thank you for the proper definition of compressor surge, how about a proper definition for the symptoms I am describing? does BOV surge work? anyone?

This happens, so we have to have established terminology.

And in case anyone is wondering, when the BOV flutters, it does shorten the life of the turbo, I have several examples myself

Sounds like your vac source might of been bad then... i used to run a 14b at 20psi with stock un crushed bov with a dedicated vac line and I never heard the noises you refer too.

No it was a good dedicated vac line. I had a rather unusual 14b setup though... at any rate it doesn't happen on the new turbo so the question was more of an afterthought.
