When I did my resonator delete i noticed a bit of flutter when I back of the throttle. That was enough for me but sounds like you want your car to be fully sic bra.

That's what I did, adjusted the pre load of the bov so at low speed it will flutter momentarily but WOT it works as usual....

Use a pod filter or modify your standard air box (drill holes or whatever) and add a sports panel filter for best results with what you're after. Wont get too much flutter from standard box.

yeah ive got the k&n typhoon i think its called. i ended up machining up a bit of ally with a 9mm hole in it so it wont flutter everytime i use the clutch. i chamfered the hole on both sides and it seems to get a bit of a whistle too at times
