ive been having alot of problems with my car lately and i keep gettin mixed answers and i dont trust certian people when it comes to my car

--> BEFORE: my turbo would spool and u wouldnt hear it realease the air NOW: my turbo spools and it flutters

(what caused this? and is it bad for the motor?)

--> BEFORE: my car never lagged boost between shifts NOW: it does..

( keep in mind my throttle cable is slacked and changing this will hopefully fix the problem)

--> my diverter valve isnt sucking or blowing any air at all and when i removed one of the hoses i found white powder all around the the inside of the hoses and around the metal

(whats the problem?)

--> will gettin a blow off valve, intercooler kit allowed me to remove my diverter valve and all those hoses leading into the intake?

--> i had a debate tonight about blow off valve placement, personnaly ive only seen the blowoff valve on the midpipe that leads down into the intercooler, whereas my friend told me its better to place the blowoff valve on the cold pip leading OUT from the intercooler into the intake manifold

(which is recommended?)

i have so many questions and no one to answer them.. so i would really appreciate all the help i can get guys!

BOV placement is all on personal preference... but it is recommended to be placed as close to the throttle as possible, iirc, for better response.

lol... I only hear VW guys use "diverter valve"

as far as your issues... you lack a bit more info. What engine?
