Slight turbo flutter sound during hard acceleration

Hey Folks.
I recently got the Fenfab V2 intake. One thing I have noticed since install, is that under hard acceleration or WOT, I get this faint rhythmic flutter sound. Other than the sound, there is no hesitation in the engine or anything like that. So I'm curious- has anybody else noticed this, and if so...what's going on?


The sound that Dwight makes after putting the CPR mannequin's face on is roughly the sound that it makes...only not as harsh. :)

You went from a closed box intake to a pair of open filters…you’re going to hear turbo noises. That’s why people buy them.

I understand that. I've just never experienced that in any of my other turbo vehicles. I'm not overly concerned, just trying to understand the process.

That’s turbo noise you’re hearing, that’s why the Fenfab is so desirable compared to most other intakes.
