no little screw, just a bolt shapped cap that tightens with the hose fitting on top.

Take off your BOV then

not true, fluttering isn't necessarily comp surge, my bov flutters, that's just the sound it makes, i know it's not comp surge. i actually like the low flutter, imo it's better than some ricey ear piercing whistle.

fluttering can be compressor surge and/or too stiff a spring tension, which is why when they cut the two coils it solved the problem.

no the fluttering is compressor surge, not the bov. a lot of people make this mistake because it sounds almost identical. only one is ccchhhh and the other is chh chh chh. haha

yup....if it sounds like this a bunch of tinny blow offs one after the other, it is your turbo surging out the pressure. maybe your BOV is too tight, OR not working.
