Turbo surge, what causes it and what can be done about it?
Bit of an open ended question as I am looking to just learn a bit about the subject.
So what causes a turbo to surge? Why do some turbos surge and others do not? What can be done to stop a turbo from surging? Does the exhaust housing size have an effect, or is surge all on the compressor side?
On the VF35 for example I know many experience surge when having fitted an induction kit (myself included) what difference does an induction kit make that it encourages surge? Is returning to a panel filter the only way to prevent the surge? Does anyone get surge with the original filter in place?
I look forward to reading any responses!
