boost flutter?

[Phil Rose]

I posted (in your thread) about a boost-gauge flutter a few months
ago, but no one except Claus W. indicated they had ever seen that
happen. Scott Mockry does not think that the flutter would be caused
by the wgfv/wastegate action (my theory), but I'm still not
convinced. My boost flutters only when rpm gets in the 3-3.5K range,
and it disappears (becomes rock steady at about 18 psi) when the rpm
is anywhere above 4 grand. This is also a Lehmann chip. No problem
with any boost "pausing" or hesitation. I've never touched the WG
adjustment.
