Boost Flutter Chevy Cobalt SS/TC

Is there anyway to make turbo flutter on the turbocharged Balt? I’ve done some research but couldn’t really find anything. I understand that creating the “flutter” you usually block off the bov line. In my case I don’t have a bov, I have the stock bov aka wastegate. I know on the cobalts that the Excess air from the turbo feeds back into the intake, so do I find where the air goes in and cap that off?

Why? And be careful that you aren't talking about compressor surge.

A waste gate does not perform the same function as a bov. Our cars have a bypass valve that performs that function. K04 turbos are cheap, so go ahead and block the bpv.

I'm not a fan when mine flutters, why would someone actually try to get it to do this? Always worried me that I have a sensor or a gate problem. Is this supposed to be "cool" to do, remember I'm old.
