Usually when you get flutter on the stock DV, you need to look at the tune to get rid of the flutter. Try adjusting the boost control maps and/or mivec maps.

I also have to get same softer spring for Synchronic DV or almost every other BOVs.

Which spring rate do you use?

IDK what spring i have. I just contacted Aby @ Milspec because the tech guys at Synapse could not figure out why i was still getting flutter. They recommended me to Milspec. So Aby just sent me a spring to see if it would help and it did.

Hollywood has been running the Perrin valve forever. He seems to really like it. Maybe he will chime in.

I used to have the turbosmart and it sounded awesome, but I had too many issues with flutter/bucking after getting tuned. Now I have the synapse.

I run the Synapse Bov on my 4" ETS intake. No issues.

How is the Cobb xle treating you? R u running it 50/50 or full recirc? Hows the noise level?

I'm looking to get a Cobb but I haven't read many reviews with it being used on an X
