I just got and installed the turbosmart plumback bov and its fluttering and chirping when revving the engine not sure if this is normal or not it didn't make this noise when I first installed it this started after driving around a bit it was pretty quiet at first. I took it out and lubed it made no difference still sounds strange high pitch chirp sound and lots of flutter everything seems to be installed correctly I'm going to go out drive it and take a video and post it on youtube maybe someone will know if its right or not.

so I couldn't get a video of me driving because it stopped doing it and its quiet again I did get one in the driveway before I went out still making the sound its very short because I got yelled at for revving up the engine could the valve be sticking or not working properly? vacuum is going to it I pulled it off and its sucking fine I'm going to try and get a video if it does it again sounds like a steaming kettle/metallic kind of noise with a lot of flutter I thought it was because of the injen intake but it went quiet again which makes absolutely no sense to me. video link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atsJZWbWAAs

Mine does pretty much the same thing. When under full throttle I get a high pitched whistle sound on top of the turbo spool and I get flutter with half throttle life off and full throttle life off.

I took it off and returned it to stock I don't like the flutter it sounds cool but I don't think its good maybe when I get a tune and not use the cobb maps it will sound different that's what I was hoping anyways?
