Synapse diverter valve install. Flutter, choking, etc

I am getting a ton of flutter, and sometimes it will choke out on a hill under load... pretty annoying.

I have read that some guys run A + B, some with the softer spring etc... so what are you guys doing, what have you found is the best port configuration and push/pull? pic?

I tried A + B and now just switched to A only... im not sure if its any better, not noticeable anyway. Im on the factory installed spring, I think the softer spring is the one that comes along with the valve in the box, correct?

As I said above... I've already had it on A+B... so no one else here is running this valve?

I swapped to the yellow spring. No other adjustments and flutter was gone.

Interesting choice. I haven't heard anyone actually running this thing with success. My shop says its a waste of money.

What was their reasoning behind this?

+1. Had the exact same issue - felt like the car was going to break apart under "flutter". Called Synapse, verified the Evo X kit they sent didn't have the correct spring (even the "extra" one was wrong). They had to ship me the correct spring. The correct one has yellow markings on it.

Pic below is the correct spring on the left, the factory installed/incorrect spring on the right.

So with the correct spring for the evo in it does it act like it is intended to? no fluttering and fast actuation?

and also they are able to run in push or pull mode... Right?
I'm assuming you are all in push mode? if yes have you tried pull?

Yes it acts as intended if you have the correct Evo X yellow marked spring in it.

You can run in either direction. I found that push mode makes more noise, which I love, if that's at all a factor for you.

Also, make sure you press the vacuum hoses in as far into the adapters as you can physically push.

Oh and OP, I would connect both A&B. To me it just makes more sense logically - and they provided the adapter and extra vacuum hose/line to accommodate.
