My mate thinks it's turbo back surge but I had no idea just an intake could cause it, everything on the car is stock including computer.Is this sound normal, good/bad and how I can resolve it?

Since I lowered my boost to about 16psi I get less of it. I think it's just all the turbulance from the air flow in hitting the turbo wheel as the butterfly shuts and the pressurised air in the intercooler has to go somewhere.It was a lot worse when I had a stronger BOV or no BOV. Now I am back to the standard BOV which seems to work fine and make less back pressure/surges.CheersChris
