Turbo flutter
Hey guys I know it's not been advised to do this on the vf35 turbo but I've put a blanking plate between my recirc and intercooler but the flutter sound is very faint can hardly hear it,
Is it necessary to have a seal between the plate and the cooler in case air is leaking out and not being forced back through the turbo?
Cheers Dan

I had mine mapped with standard air box, put a big air filter or and checked with my ODB2 monitor, was getting bad readings all over the place, don't change your air filter until you can get the map tweaked.
But yup once you get a nice big air filter on there you will get a nice bit of flutter.

To get flutter you just need an induction kit and a DV blanking plate, it is louder with a fmic, but a tmic weill still work, its all about the volume of air going back through the compressor that dictates the noise, so a fmic has a larger volume of air compared to a tmic so will be louder

Out of curiosity, what are the advantages to going DV-less?
I guess the turbo needs to be able to support a quick rush of air in the "wrong" direction, hence the flutter - what attributes of a turbo make this "safe"?

From the research I have done, roller bearing turbos dont like it as much. But to be honest, have ran all my cars without and never had an issues. I run the scooby with a boost controller in the vac line to the DV, so it flutters on low boost, and on high boost it dumps. best of both worlds.
Thats the thing, its never been conclusively proved to damage the turbo, might last for years, might not, you take your chances!

Very true mate, never read about anyone using a vf34 turbo without a dv, or one that's broke because of dv less. Tbh I'm not particularly a fan of the sound either, yes the cars more responsive but then like you said you take your chances
