Your recirc valves are likely blown. Both of you.
It is possible the cone filter in this case, but if you had stock induction in place a fluttering nearly noise always means a blown recirc. This will stuff your turbo and lose you performance at gearchange.
If you want to test, remove the small vaccuum hose for the recirc...and attach a spare length so you can suck on it.
- if you can suck air through (other than just pulling the diagphram) then its time to get on vagparts.co.uk for a new one.
For the record a richmod wil kill a stock recirc in no time!! The vag one is uprated.

I replaced mine with an uprated Bosch dump/diverter/recirc (whatever you want to call it!) valve from an Audi TT. Supposedly, it can handle 225BHP, which is much more than my 480 was making, even after a RichMod.
I bought it from here:

If you so a search on the forum here for 710N (the end of the part number) you'll see that it gets quite a few recomendations.

No probs! The Audi version looks identical to the one already fitted, so is a direct replacement - just with stonger internals.

fluttering sound meanst that your dump valve is toast, it doesn't vent the air out. So replace that. That thing killed my turbo.

yes it is as you described.
this is not the same, but looks the same. The one in the link above is plastic on the outside not metal. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORGE-FMCL007P-RE ... 1002r21915
but the shape is the same.
