Had this problem for a few weeks now

If i start the car from cold, the first 2 or 3 gear changes i get a loud flutter from the turbo

After that its fine and i hear my 007p in action

Literally does it for the first ten seconds of driving from cold and then after its fine

(Doesnt matter how carefully i pull off or even when i change into second below 2k it still does it)

Like somethings sticking for a few seconds :shrug:

Anyone?

this will be the dv sticking and there for you are getting what they call doseing!

There is confusion in the automotive world about so called "wastegate chatter" or "turbo flutter". A noise created on lifting off the throttle in a turbocharged car, commonly described as a chipmunk or a rattlesnake, is often stated incorrectly as being a result of the turbo's wastegate closing.

The noise is in fact the air compressed by the turbo passing back through the compressor wheel of the turbo after the airflow is abruptly halted by the throttle plate closing, called compressor surge. However, in some cases, i.e. where the throttle plate doesn't open fast enough or is set up to only react to high boost, some chatter will remain. Surge can occur on diesels when the turbo is attempting to pressurize the air at a higher pressure ratio than the compressor wheel can flow at a given speed. Diesel engines have no use for a blow off valve as they do not have a throttle plate.

The chatter noise is very noticeable on World Rally Cars, where anti-lag is used.

A compressor stall like this can cause excess stress and wear on the turbo's shaft or bearings under higher load applications of the turbo (around 15 psi (1.00 bar) and greater depending on the trim and flow rate of the compressor side).

Actual wastegate flutter occurs instead under partial boost conditions such as partial throttle near the boost threshold. It sounds like FftFftFft not ShuShuShu and is caused by the rapid opening and closing of the wastegate at boost levels near the spring pressure. It is commonly heard more clearly and may be more prominent on cars with modified intake silencers, up-pipes, and or downpipes, and is not harmful.

many skyline owners block of there dump vale alltogether so it makes this noise rather than a woooosh
 
Get a forge service kit, strip it down and grease every contact area inside (piston and DV walls). 10min job, should be done every 10k miles or so.
 
I did think it could be the 007 but the flutter sound is 10 times louder than the normal sound my 007 makes lol

Ill get a service kit anyway and go from there
 
What rob said!

Its 10 times louder as it is the turbo fluttering not the dv itself. 99% sure the service kit will fix it.

yep just what i tryed to explain its the air going back through the turbo passing throught the blades and thats why it makes the fluter noise because the air is being choped up as it passes throught and that air passing through being choped up if you like is the fluttering noise
 
The above vid is what mine sounds like for those first few seconds of driving

Going to order a service kit today
 
Had same issue but that was when dv was serviced, stuttered for a while till it stopped, piston was quite hard to press with yellow spring, so degrded back to a green one with extra plate in it....now its bang on.... would also cechk vacum lines from dv to the manifold.....
