Im telling you its deinitly compressor surge lol

He doesnt have a big enough bov to compensate for the massive turbo and amount of boost he's making, so it cant vent the air fast enough, which creates the surge

I actually think its the type of BOV he is running. I have heard that before on a suby and a SRT-4. He is running 26 psi, it is alot of boost but not that much.

Sounds to me like wastegate is flapping. My car does this sometimes when I'm only partly accelerating.

Sounds like boost hitting the turbo cause the BOV did not open.My guess is the BOV is set tight so not to leak under heavy boost.
