Turbo flutter, often called compressor surge, happens when pressurised air flows back through the turbo after the throttle closes, creating the chopping stututu sound instead of a clean blow-off valve hiss. Diesel builds became especially linked to the noise online because their torque-heavy pulls and large turbos make the flutter long and pronounced. Clips spread through car forums, YouTube builds and short-form edits, where stututu became shorthand for boost. It remains popular as a quick audio cue that a car is turbocharged, modified and making serious pressure.
