I hear so many varying statements, its hard to figure out which is fact and which is fiction.
When you run a turbo car without a blow off valve and the air pressure escapes through the turbo, it makes a distinct flutter sound. Its hard to find a good video but here is an example, but you probably have heard it before.
The most common argument is that this is super bad and it will destroy all the things, however I don't see how even with a blow off valve, all air would escape through it, I'm sure even some air will still escape through the turbo.
The more valid sounding arguments is that this is NOT compressor surging, it is simply the air escape through the turbo and the fans cutting through the escaping air, and most importantaly the pressure is not enough to spin the compressor in the wrong direction ( which from what I've interpreted is compressor surge ) or cause damage to the turbo itself.
Any explanations or articles would be helpful.
