Default CNG Powered Buses with Turbo's.
There's a Bustop right by my work, and I always here the new Metro LA Buses' turbo's suffering from compressor surge. Those bishes need blow off valves. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

it sounds like the engine is coughing. I'm pretty sure its the compressed air slamming against the closed throttle bodies and back towards the compressor blades.

Its funny how people confuse it with the compressed air for the brake system.

But yeah, i've heard the smaller, non-commercial buses with BOV's.
