Default Flutter..??

First off let me say this is not my car it is the best quality video of the exact same issue i am having to the T.
I drive an 06 sti
Mods: Invida Divorce Catted downpipe. Intake, cobb pro tune(Ptuning in Northern VA tuned it), fuel pump
Issue: I am receiving fludder, I do not believe it is my wastegate and i dont believe it is Compressor surge. Could it be my stock Bypass valve? It all of a sudden started happening. It really starts in 4,5,6 is im at low rpms building boost and mash the throttle "lets say to get around someone one the highway."
Now if im in 1,2,3rd gear and mash the throttle from a optimum rpm range it only hits about 15.5-16psi and my daily is tuned to 17.5-18

The vid is a camed wrx but with the same issue im having.

maybe we should have a technical sub-forum under motorsports..there is a lot of good info here and its normal that some subaru owners often ask questions here rather than the generic tech forum.

The problem in the video is the wg blowing open.

PS: Low rpm / high gear driving, along with steep slopes creates massive load. That's how people blow up motors usually, mostly on cold nights. You shouldn't close onto the throttle at low rpm, gradually give more angle until you feel the turbo spool then more throttle if needed..I'm not saying this will fix your problem, in general, this is a bad habit to start with.

Make sure all of your lines are secure under the hood. If they are then it is most likely your stock BPV.

Going with what garageGT said about how this sort of driving produces massive amounts of load, could the high load be causing the turbo to spin so fast that it's out of it's effeciency range and just chopping the air as it comes through the intake?

I know, lower gears don't produce as much load as higher gears.

I have this same issue now on my VF43...I run about 20 psi at WOT. It is only when it hits about 18-19 psi that the sound in the video begins.

Not sure...figured it was wastegate flutter....Thoughts?
