Turbo Surge

[Scarlet_Nape]

I rarely "romp" my truck, since I don't have all the mods I want on it, yet. But, this weekend, while trying to catch up to some of they guys headed to the truck/tractor pulls, I definitely noticed some surge. My question is, will the future mods I have in mind (new intake, new exhaust, and a dp-tuner) help with this (guages are a given), or make it worse?
Or, will I need a new housing or WW? I'm not really ready to upgrade the turbo, unless it becomes a necessity.

You are looking at a housing or WW. Housing is the better of the two, but more expensive.

its the only thing that will really help it unfortunally..... ive seen compressor wheels as low as 60 bux... but that was a non-sponser site/ local diesel shop.... i know ill be upgrading that soon but first the suspension needs some work...

More mods will cause more surge. The WW will help cure some of the surge. I have never had a hosuing so I have no comment on it. I now have a BB turbo and I can surge it if I want to.

Thanks, guys!
I guess I will have to add a WW to my "wish list". A new housing would be nice, but I've got to budget my mods, and I'm still dying to get the exhaust, intake, gauges, and in DP first!!
