Question Fluttering sound?(from BOV?)

I would like to know if its normal to have a "fluttering sound" on ur engine (not sure where) after installing a BOV?
I just installed a BOV and i do have a stock set up. I was wondering if this is normal, and if i should be concern about mechanical problem...
thanks in advance!

fluttering sound? probably your wastegate you're hearing. do a search on "wastegate flutter" and see if that matches the sound you're hearing.

It may also make a fluttering sound under certain throttle conditions if you have it adjusted closed too tightly.

If the sound is wastegate flutter, it is normal. Ours all do it. You can just hear it more if you modify the intake or exhaust tract.
