turbo acts differently after.......

[TURBOV6]

I installed the V4. I noticed faster spool up and increase of hp's. But what I was concerned about was how the turbo reacts differently. While on the freeway when I boost around 10-15lbs or more and ease off the gas very slightly it does the turbo flutter sound while i'm on boost while driving. It kinda hard to explain, would be probally easier to explain to the ones who switched over to a V4 or a front mount over the stock IC.

Make sense

Compressor surge. Very common when making modifactions such as what you did, that change the intake system cross sectional area. Doesn't sound like your's is too severe though. Just a little more or little less accelerator pedal when it happens will clear it up.

Mine does it too. You can hear it a lot better now that you are uncorked a bit. When I'm making a move in traffic to get by people to get into another lane for a turn or something it is very noticeable. Just wanted you to know it's probably normal.

Not unless it's adversely affecting the street manners or performance.
