You've got a leak somewhere or you need to play with that spring.

leak or live with the flutter. Your bov's not holding the psi.

maybe you're peaking at like 24psi.

HKS SSQV tend to flutter a lot, but never heard of greddy fluttering.

It was installed by buschur racing. Im pretty sure there isnt a leak i think i just need to figure out how to adjust it the right way. I'm very confident buschur wouldnt let me take my car if i had a boost leak, they drove it and everything.

make sure it's not backwards. i'm sure buschur wont mess up on such simple thing, but sometime **** happens.

that's all i could think of, if not your hose in actuator is leaking.

My peak boost is 20psi and it used to hold to redline. I'll play with the spring and let you know.Not to worried i need a ecu flash so my cars not up to par anyways. Im sure with my luck i will pull up next to some sweet cars when my boost is f-ed up haha

first off you calling me a waste of space... 2nd off did you ever stop to think what happens when a b.o.v. flutters... if the throttle shuts closed and the b.o.v. flutters it creates turbulance... so what do you think the turbo is going to do... it should bleed off the boost progressively... not open close open close... it will create flutter, not as extreme as not having a b.o.v. open at all. but non the less still creating flutter... dont tell me it wont cause it wore the bearings out on my turbo...partly cause of this prob...
