Compressor surge vs fluttering
I fired up the car for the first time since the clutch and turbo install this morning just to check for leaks and problems. Didn't drive it since I don't have an ECU or injectors yet.
While revving it lightly, I do hear some turbo noises when I close the throttle and I'm trying to figure out what it is. I found this thread:

It sounds more like the fluttering. I'm only at idle and not building any boost. I'm using the FM aluminum BOV which routes things back into the intake.
I suppose I should wait until I drive it to figure out if it makes the same noise when I'm actually boosting under load.
On a side note, what's the purpose for the one way check-valve for the carbon canister? I purchased this kit used and it wasn't included. Thanks!

Unfortunately it's a huge file because of the digicam. You can hear it in the beginning and end of the video when I'm revving it.
A friend said he can make his Evo do that when he's driving with low load and low boost and let off the throttle quickly.

My car makes a similar sound that kind of sounds like a cricket. I think it is from the valve being slightly open when coming down from a light rev. I notice it when i am driving slowly around parking lots and stuff.
edit: I dont have sound at work so i didnt actually listen to the video, so i am just guessing.
