After upping the boost to 1.6 bar on the dyno I seem to be getting a touch of surge at WOT and partial throttle around 5-6k onwards, dropping the boost to 1.5bar cures it at WOT but not at partial. I know of others running a 3071 at 1.85bar and not having surge issues so curious as to why I am?
I thought perhaps too small intercooler piping but I'm pretty sure it's 60mm at it's smallest parts in the run so shouldn't be an issue, what else might cause a bit of surge? It's not a massive issue as I'm looking to go full 3" on the exhaust and run less boost but would like to know why.
