shiv, I'm glad you found this thread.
I initially thought it was my forge d/v, which is a d/v not a vta model. I took it out, checked everything, re-lubed it, put it back in. No change. I still get this but it's noticeably more often whenever it's colder outside, say < 40 degrees.
If you check my thread link above you'll see a few other suggestions. I haven't explored them yet myself. I don't see how it could be the d/v since it's such a simple device and has worked flawlessly since I got it. I mean if the d/v weren't releasing the pressure 100% like it should, that would simply cause surge. I don't know how it could affect the engine's fuel consumption/rpm level. Can you explain that a bit further? I may just be missing something. Thanks.

Actually I'm already running it backwards from the stock orientation. I changed it back when I had fluttering issues, and it seems to work a slight bit better but most of my flutter problems have ceased to exist now that I have proper pedal modulation skills while on the highway. 
Any other suggestions? This is secondary to me right now, top problem is currently the SES p0300 error. argggggg!

I have the stock BOV on my car but had a forge recirculating that did the same thing. 
I also have stock clutch but plan to get the clutch master stage 3 soon.

I have the exact same BOV and same problem as you... Let me know if you find anything out.
I find that also when it's cold, it happens more, like you. However, after it warms up (the car or the weather) it doesn't happen nearly as often.

That doesn't sound right... it's not like my throttle is sticking at all... sounds more along the lines of the compressor surge, like someone mentioned.
Have you tried it yet?

This thread is starting to remind me of the AFLAK (sp?) duck
. It sound just like compressor surge . You should try and adjust your BOV spring pressure or replace it (the BOV). It is a common problem with some aftermarket BOVs. Speedlimit...
