I recently tuned my 2016 MK7 gti with a JB4 tuner and everything has been great so far, so since I’m running higher boost (24psi) I decided it’s time for a bigger tubro inlet pipe and an R600 intake, first I installed the CTS turbo inlet pipe and drove around with that and it’s awesome less turbo lag better response no strange noises, so last night I had gotten off work and installed my R600 Intake and High flow intake hose installed it all and man am I in loooove with the spooling noise I can hear my turbo spooling loudly even with my windows up! But I noticed something slightly off, once I hit around 4-5k rpm I start getting a very rapid fluttering noise, it doesn’t necessarily sound like compressor surge (I assume it’s my intake taking in much more air than the stock) but I’m not 100% sure what it is exactly. Is it normal to have that with a bigger intake that’s less restrictive and can suck in more air? And if it is compresser surge (praying it’s not lol) my theory on how to resolve it would be getting high flow outlet pipes because if my turbo can suck in more air than it could put out that might be what’s causing it but not 100% sure like I said has anybody had this problem or can give me any input? I don’t want to damage my turbo!
