Turbo surge?

installed my chip today and when I did I had the red line plugged. I started getting crazy turbo surge on my 100 and 140 tune. So I decided to hook the red line back up. It is not surging like it was but still getting it occasionally. This this common or is there a turbo issue?

pretty common, higher hp tunes are pushing more air, causing the surge. Time for a wicked wheel at minimum or an ATS housing, or of course a 38r or H2E or t4 setup!!

Mine would surge when towing, even before tuner install (stock except 6637 and muffler). No problem on last trip, WW seems to cure it. Maybe a band aid, but a lot cheaper than ported housings, etc.. You might consider gauges soon, keep track of things.

I would definitely back off the skinny pedal when you hear it surging until you get the WW or a housing installed, that will kill a turbo pronto!
