i absolutely agree. compressor surge is when the charged air in the piping comes back and "hits" the compressor momentarily stopping or even reversing the flow. this is not something that you typically want, and is arguable as to any performance gain or not. anyone that hears this and doesnt have a couple spare turbos should cringe with fear.
