Ive been looking around here and around other places to see where I could find a video with Compressor Surge. I recently bought a HKS SSQV BOV and was wondering if Im getting compressor surge on my turbo. I hear a sound like a flock of pigeons at low boost and hight boost, even though I adjust the nut in back of the BOV all the way out. If anyone out there knows where I can find a video with compressor surge Id appreciate it alot. I found some around here, but people just keep saying it is and some others say it isnt. I need to make sure Im not getting compressor surge...
 
most likely not. Keep the screw backed out, from what i hear compressor surge happens when you have the BOV too tight and it allows air to head backwards in the system and hit the turbo, effectivly putting stress on the turbo and slowing its spin, or stopping it completly.
