turbo flutter -- bov adjust

[Jellybean]

I get a small bit of turbo flutter the odd time generally just transitioning onto the 2nd turbo and have to let off throttle sharply

 

 

I read you can adjust your BOV to eliminate this, I have the ARC and I have a 10mm nut you can adjust, I presume you release the tension to solve the issue so the excess gas is released earlier?

 

 

If you are running different Boost settings (i.e.boost controller) will you have to keep on adjusting the BOV?

 

Does it matter how lapsed the spring tension is, do you need a certain amount of pressure to get the optimal spool but negate any turbo flutter? Why not have the BOV on its weakest setting so it releases excess gas as soon as possible?

Nothing wrong with some turbo flutter, you can hear it with all the singles, you can help illiminate quite a bit of it by installing a second BOV....but there really is no need.

 

In your case, I can see the Stock BOV has been removed and the holes blocked off, so im assuming you have the ARC somewhere along the IC pipe etc, instead of fiddling with the spring tension why not re-fit the stock BOV and keep the ARC BOV in place.
