Anyone know if there is HARD proof with testing done determining how bad (if its bad at all) turbo compressor surge is?

I know there are people who swear its worse than the cardinal sins, and others say its not that bad.

I know the ideas behind the opinions, so what Im looking for is facts. Testing done on turbos, Subaru preferably, but any will do.

Reason I ask is... I recently got the GFB FX BOV and I had it adjusted for sea level. When I got to Tahoe I started getting that wonderful flutter sound. I love that sound, but until I know for certain its not going to blow my turbo apart, I dialed it back a bit.

No, but if there are chain restrictions you will need to put on chain or have 4x4 with mud and snow tires.
