paulr33 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 flutter doesnt come from the intercooler. flutter comes from the bov being too tight or not having one and the air goes back and hits the turbo blades and gets chopped. the intercooler will make it echo more but wont make the flutter noise by itself Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66416-why-doesnt-my-car-flutter/#findComment-1236967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just block the black hose that run from your BOV back into the intake ( not the tiny vacum one ) then it'll give you heaps of flutter.

EVL032 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 just put a metal plate in the wastegate and take it 4 a drive and u will have flutter just open the two bolts and slide the metal in therefore blocking the air and making it return out the air filter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66416-why-doesnt-my-car-flutter/#findComment-1237250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbar32 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 some people are very confused concerning wastegates and bovs...... and why do you want a flutter noise???

Cubes Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Only flutter I've heard is on a VL that didn't have a BOV. Wastegates are used to control boost on the exhaust side. And they don't flutter. If they are not redirected back in to the exhaust they are known as screamer pipes as that is what they do.. Scream! Having no bov on a VL running no IC and std boost is fine. Once you begin to fit intercoolers and up the boost their is more air in the system which needs to be vented some where otherwise it will eventually cause damage from stalling the turbo when you lift off the throttle.

Jago Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 yea, i don't see why a wastegate would have anything to do with fluttering. I think you need new tyres and maybe a new bodykit, neons too, that should do the trick (only kidding ) Aren't there some BOV's out there that actually do their job AND make a flutter noise (the release of air into atmosphere, not back pressure)?

nitemare5 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Those are usually the adjustable type BOV's where the owner/workshop has tightened the BOV so that it will remain shut until higher boost is attained, therefore 'fluttering' at lower rev's and venting the air at higher revs. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66416-why-doesnt-my-car-flutter/#findComment-1237702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticStan Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 just put a metal plate in the wastegate and take it 4 a drive and u will have flutter just open the two bolts and slide the metal in therefore blocking the air and making it return out the air filter And the award for most insane post of the year goes too...... If you block the wastegate your turbo will have no boost limit, and bye bye turbo. :spcartman Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66416-why-doesnt-my-car-flutter/#findComment-1237814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilt-Toy Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 What you want to do is tighten the BOV so it does not go off OR it goes off with the BOV thlutter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66416-why-doesnt-my-car-flutter/#findComment-1237839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
