BOV or Compressor surge?

I have something going on Media Player, so I cant watch this vid. A BOV surging sounds like a chatter, studder, etc... It's common for almost any BOV to surge under a low to mid throttle release, but if its still doing it at a WOT release its usually from the valve screw being set too tight.
 
defrag010 - I know what you mean. I hear the sounds in the video too. It sounds alot like compressor surge, but I think it's just the BOV fluttering. I recently drove my buddies SRT4 and his did the same thing. It fluttered between every shift. I though something was wrong, but he said it always did that and it was normal...... I dont really understand it either, but I just though I'd share this.... :dsm:
 
I absolutely love the sound a car makes when the compressor is surging. Do they make a bov dat sounds like that?
