Could it be my Forge BPV?

Does the boost fluctuate at all?

I can hear my Forge flutter sometimes at low RPMs in 3rd if I start building boost.

The best way to avoid it? Downshift!

Diagnosed & Traced the problem to Forge Valve intermitently not sealing properly.

Changing the Valve to a GFB tommorow.

Lucas and I

Plumbed in a boost gauge and did some test runs - the boost was fluttering occassionally when the Forge was not sealing properly.

Tried sucking air through the hose and low and behold the Forge is failing to seat properly.

Solutioin: replace Forge with GFB valve and problem solved
