Mike,

  I had the same thing happening on my car. It progresively got much worse
until it was fluttering under boost in every gear. I finally swaped in my old
set of spark plugs and the flutter was almost totally gone. Now it only does
it under a heavy load in 5th. Had it gone completely while I was messing
around but I'm not sure what I did. I also tightened all the grounds and such.
