Compressor surge and how to identify it

[D-Cobra]

I thought it may be interesting to post these findings on the explanation of compressor surge (flutterdump according to the video). Eventhough many of us may not have it, or many times just simply over look or ignore the issue. But I thought it would be educational for many of us to at least understand and so we would recognize when it happens.

Here's a very detail explanation of compressor surge and related issues. warning: very long read.

I found this new video which I thought it clearly identifies compressor surge (flutterdump).

That is a blow off valve that is sprung too tight, not compressor surge.
