Hey guys,

I just installed a Whoosh V1 intercooler, Turbosmart plumb black V2, colder plugs, and a Stratified tune. I noticed right on light throttle I have a really loud turbo flutter, even under no boost, could it be the tune or maybe the BOV, I didn't have this at all when I was stock. I'm just concerned that I might damage something.

If you hear it letting OFF the throttle, it's 100% normal and safe... if you are getting flutter while actively under higher throttle levels, then you have issues...

Put the OEM bypass valve in and see if that makes a difference.

The BOV should prevent flutter. Flutter is bad news. Is the BOV installed correctly/ plugged in?

I have the electronic turbosmart 50/50 blow off valve. I know very little of the mechanical one.
