Wait, seriously?

Are you planning to patent your secret turbo flutter technique? Or somehow try to make money off of it? Otherwise, I fail to see why you would refuse to share your method. I'm not even interested myself, but clearly there are folks on civicx who would be. Sharing knowledge is one of the things that makes this site so great.

Seems like this may not be healthy. But to each his own.

Turbo flutter is TERRIBLE for the compressor wheel on the turbo. It makes a turbulent back pressure pushing back towards the wheel while the wheel is trying to force air out. Might sound cool but not a good idea on a car your daily driver.

You don't want no part of that shit Dewey.
I just read this and saw your Dewey Cox reference. Fuckin hilarious!

Hey fellow 10th gen Si owners, noob to turbos here. I'm a huge fan of hearing turbo flutter at car meets and track days. How can I achieve this with the stock turbo? Is it as simple as a BPV mod?

**EDIT: So the only way to get any more noises is an intake and (maybe) a BOV mod. Thx for the replies!
my turbo was very fluttery after putting on the 27won cold air intake and having the boost turned up. However it isnt the iconic stututu its way more subtle then that only reason i heard it was because of the new intake and it only happened during WOT at when i was really pushing it.
