Hi all,
I am running into a very interesting problem and looking for suggestions because I am stumped!
I sourced a new turbocharger for a 7.8L Duramax and I'm having terrible surge issues. If I plot the points (pressure ratio and mass flow) on my compressor map it is well within the surge line. I have used this same turbo (Borg Warner S200SX-50, 177267, 50mm inducer 70mm exducer) on other engines and this has never been a problem.
What else am I overlooking on the engine side that could contribute to surge? One thing I found after doing some research is 'wear of fuel injection valves'. Can anyone explain this? Please feel free to post any other ideas! :soap:
