Forge Diverter vavle

I found this video of the forge diverter valve, it sounds like it has a "flutter."
Ive heard that a flutter is a bad thing, anyone care to educate me a little more? Who has experience with this diverter valve? I had a BOV on my car and i really want to get rid of it due to obvious reasons, im considering buying this.

I have had one on my 2009 MCS for about 5 months now. It works great.

Cool deal. I removed my BOV today and went back to stock. Probably going to order this soon, does yours sound similar to the one in the video?

I have one as well and am very happy with it. It pretty much sounds like that with an alta intake.

It sounds kind of like that. More like a really quick "psst". It can barely hear it most of the time.

Oh, I was kind of hoping it would have the flutter like in the video. I'm running a DDM street intake right now. Oh well guess I'm going silent! Is forge the only company making BPV for the mini??

Not the only company, but the only company that includes an electric boost control solenoid so it runs using the computer's input. Other tape a resister in the factory harness and run off vacuum only.
