on a stock car, no it's not true. ideally there should be no compressor surge. there are ways to control it, mainly by turning down the boost, having the car properly tuned, and having a correctly adjusted and functioning bov. once you start messing with boost levels there is always going to be compressor surge, but you want to try to minimize it as much as possible.

 

I have trouble with ptb with my ebc on my s20g, I have to really ease into the throttle to keep from blowing off the tires. It's a bitch to control it. I guess I need to go back and run off the w/g and do away with ebc.

 

no you don't. boost controllers are a good way tohelp lessenptb, you don't want to get rid of it. just retune it properly.
