How many lbs are you boosting? At lower boost levels the Blitz flutters a bit.

use a different vacuum source....I had it happened before, then I move the Tee as close as I can to the vacuum source..it works like a charm

I tried not to tee more than 3 vacuum output out of a single source, for example, I tried not to put boost gauge, WG, FMU, BOV, and etc in one single source..

I had fmu, WG, and EBC from the FPR
then I had Boost gauge, EBC vacuum source(AVC-R), BOV on the evap purge

and I tried to tee it off as close as I can to the inake manifodl

less vacuum input.... meaning dont share the vac line with anything else except what was there originally and the bov. Hmmmm like find a vac line, T it, and the only thing u connect is for use with the bov ONLY. lots of em behind the intake manifold.

I have all three of my vac lines coming from one source, matter of fact all 4. fpr, WG, BOV, and FMU...it is working ok for the time being. But you say there are more behind the intake mani? I swear I looked and didnt see any....oh well worth another shot

I'm a sohc'er though. It may be different for your application. I use one in the back of my manifold strictly for the bov.
