Found plenty of info on how to make it flutter though.I was lead to believe it is really bad for your turbo. True or not?I have bought a stock BA turbo with the factory bov return line thing capped off. I rather like the noise but I don't want to go damaging the turbo.I plan on getting a mild tune at some point too, if that makes it any worse.
