made my first trip home with the new tunner set on the 80 ecno while going up the small pass to my house about 6 % grade I was doing about 65 and wanted to pass this camper before the top. WOT I herd what I thought to be tubro surge It had the pressure cooker sond and my gauge was boncing. Is this the dreaded surge? It went away as soon as i took my foot out ot the pedel
am I needing to get a wicked wheel now?
thanks for the help

Yes it is, and yes you do.

 

yep welcome to the WW world

 

Is turbo surge when you are going up a hill towing in third and it starts acting like you are pumping the throttle when you aren't? It has done this twice when towing up hills at higher RPM's.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Thanks,

yes its a woosh woosh sound, usually under load of some kind. A WW will cure most for around $60-$90 depending on where you get one, or an ATS housing for around $400, I did the WW, but when funds are available I will get the ATS ported housing and reinstall when original wheel.

 

The wicked wheel hides the surge. An ATS cures it.

 

John do you mean that with a WW I will be still damaging my turbo?

No it pushs less air than the stock wheel. So it doesnt "cure" it it just makes if move less air so it wont surge and sometimes it can still surge.

 

thanks John
