Hi guys, nice and fresh to the forums, will make a post in the new members thread soon.

Recently picked up an 03 BAXR6T with 170xxx on the clock and im having flutter issues...it just won't flutter.

I have a custom battery relocation kit and intake done and the factory BOV is blocked. All I get when I back off is one solid shoosh sound. the turbo spools up nice and loud thanks to the intake, but it will only flutter twice (tsutsu) and then whoosh, I know its coming out of the intake. it is running stock boost, but I my old BA MKII used to flutter with a standard intake...any ideas?

forgive me if this is common, but my search skills arent what they used to be haha

thanks

Karl

that's what I thought, the port on the crossover pipe near the TB is completely blocked off, and it definately sounds like its coming back out of the intake pipe

If cooler pipe had come off it wouldnt boost properly and run like sh*t, but I'll have a good look tomorrow.

I did see somewhere that it could just be tired bearings in the turbo :/

Hey Karl. 100% that sounds like your throttle body joiner has a crack in it (if your intercooler pipe isnt of that is). Btw its joe here got ya in fb. If your around my area ill have a look at it for u some time.

If its not any of your crossover pipes etc. Check the rear of your turbo and look for the bolts. if they are all loose it will also cause that swoosh sound and lack of power....

Nothing off or leaking around the intercooler? Hot side/cold side? Vacuum hose isn't leaking? Throttle body not farked? Actuator not opening wastegate? Every clamp is secure and not loose?

Just throwin it all out lol
