Speaking of which...(HKS fitment on mine took some stuffing around to fit neatly...)
a quick question about bypass flutter...with the HKS in mind.
When I first read about the bypass flutter I noted mine gives a flutter noise, and along with news that the OEM bypass and hypertech tune respond well together, it made me want to be sure that mine's fine, despite confidence in it.
Anyway, the observation I've made is this; that the flutter bypass I get under lighter throttle conditions is the first stage HKS bypass - slower release, and it has a consistent rate of about 4 opens / sec...
So rather than psht..psht...psht.....psht........PShhhh 
it's psht-psht-psht-psht quite quickly.
Under wide throttle, lighter lift-off will still give the slow release bypass, but a quick liftoff will open the second stage bypass, and boost is dumped to recirc much quicker - PSSSHT
So I'm wondering if anyone has compared HKS vs OEM bypass on HT tune - I'll post that question seperately, so as not to hijack your thread....
I thought I'd also mentioned it in case someone else with the HKS was questioning theirs. With the HKS valve, the flutter is a design feature, and obviously not a concern, yes?
The OEM, 2XS and many other designs are a simpler single-stage valve, yes?
What comparisons in behaviour would you make, and what pros and cons to the HKS design do you see, compared to the OEM or 2XS stealth?
