MEET UP: North Bay, lets get it going!
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.
