I think that if you can't install a DV/BOV correctly, you shouldn't be allowed to drive or own a turbocharged car.

Would the DV flutter if it were installed backwards? No! Then it has to be compressor surge.

Indeed. In fact, some members on this forum have said theirs came from the factory like that. Mine had it backwards when I bought it. The previous owner took it to a shop to install the POS K&N Typhoon, and the intake installation instructions showed it backwards. The morons at the shop were too ignorant and lazy to see that it was clearly backwards.

Turn it around, and don't VTA.
