Default compresser surge/flutter after FMIC fitted

Hi all,
I have just fitted a japspeed fmic, induction kit and HKS re-circ bov just wondering if this is normal to hear the flutter through the cone filter even with a re-circ bov fitted? or am i getting compresser surge??,it also does it on very low boost.

Will be remapped soon just want to make sure im not going to kill the turbo or if the bov is not working correct.
thanks Jamie

Very normal to hear that sound even at low boost. Wouldn't worry, just done go thrashing it at all, as with those bits fitted it'll be very 'out of tune'!

Yes that sounds about right for your car, only reason I asked is that some Turbos can not handle to the compressor stall very well. Im not sure about the VF30, although I didn have one on my previous car which was fine, but maybe I got lucky
