I had a Forge motorsports dual piston blow off valve on my 2003 mazdaspeed protege along with the weapons r cold air intake.. It makes the fluttering noise when i release the gas while in the range of my turbo. I took the blow off valve off and put the stock one back on thinking that would fix the problem. With the stock one on the car continues to make the fluttering noise (turkey noise). This is the first time me or my dad has owned a turbo and not completely sure how they work so we dont know what is causing the noise.. Please help!! Thank you in advance!

That's the boost pressure releasing, nothing wrong at all. You just couldn't hear it before because of the stock intake but your car has done it all along, my car does it with the stock intake and the Forge replacement bpv and wastegate. You should keep the Forge BOV on there as it will vent more air than the stock bpv, and I wasn't aware Weapon R made an intake for the MSP.

Is there a way to change the flutter noise to more of a "pssssssttt"? Like maybe buy an HKS bov?

You need hardpipes and an upgraded intercooler or fmic to get an HKS.

Im pretty sure if u do hard pipes and a mass. Relocation after the bov u can run a strait bov. And it should give u a more normal sounding blow off. I get made fun of a lot for the turkey call Haha but it does turn heads
