Default Blow-Off sound...Please help!

Whats up guys? My BOV started making a fluttering sound as opposed to its normal "SWOOOOSH" sound....what going on? Not a big deal...I just liked the old sound better. Any ideas?

Well that happened to me too, but thats when i added an air filter to the turbo. It made the nice sound w/out the air filter.

That fluttering sound might be that your bov spring is to tight and your getting compressor surge.

the diaphram may have split. I don't know why it would work great then all of a sudden start fluttering (compressor surge). Did you make any modifications to your setup lately?
