Turbo surge question.
I am almost sure that I have a turbo surge problem, but everyone says that it happens under a load. I am getting it just excelerating from 50mph to 60mph at only 2000 rpms. Does that sound right! I have a D-P tuner and it does this in all setting but it does ot do it in stock.

I was able to EASILY experience surge while accelerating from about 55-70 MPH. It's very possible that you are experiencing the same thing. Just accelerating to pass on a 2-lane while empty was enough to do it.

Does your boost guage bounce while you experiencing this?
If so that is surge. You will also get the infamous "chuffa, chuffa, chuffa" sound.
This isn't good for your turbo and can easily damage it. There are ways to fix it though.
Wicked wheel and an ATS housing or you can do like Kris and go for the Turbonetics set up.
Here's a little video of a truck that is experiencing turbo surge.

I am embaressed to say that i do not have my boost gauge hooked up yet, the hose was to short and I have not bought a longer one yet. What mine is doing does not appear to be the same as the video. The sound of mine is more of a fast flutter, instead of the spaced out chuffa, chuffa sound. Will your RPM's drop as well, mine just seems to hit a wall and no more power.

I have a new turbo and injectors in the future, am I wasting my money on the ATS housing or will it go on a turbonetics or garret BB turbo?

I am not sure I am getting surge. Last summer was towing 9K TT up a pretty steep grade and it downshifted to third and the RPM's were pretty high (2500 or so) and the engine started acting like you were peddling the throttle. zoom - zoom - zoom. I took my foot out of it to about 2000 and it went away. Is that surge or something else? It has only done it once.
Thanks
