[QUOTE="PStroked444, post: 113190, member: 2392"] the compressor wheel is pushing air into the motor. But with tuning the compressor wheel spins faster than a stock tune. What is really happening is it is trying to push more air in than it can handle. Kinda like you trying to dig more dirt out of a hole than the shovel can hold. It looses some off the sides. The bleed ring helps the keep air moving into the motor by bleeding the extra buildup. The wheel is using the tip to pull air in and down lower it starts to compress it. When the compressor starts to load up full of air more and more of the wheel is trying to push the air in and less and less of the wheel is used to bring air in. Thats why you get the surge. The boost needle bounces. Builds pressure then looses its pressure then starts to build boost again. The bleed ring is that line where it says "extra air go in the motor or leave here". I hope this eplains it good enough. I am no expert but that is similar to how it was described to me. JMHO :D [/QUOTE]
