Intake whistle?

(1/3) > >>

Vwgtiking:
Had the ramair for a week and only had the whoosh and turbo spool noises. Now fitted the vwr kit and these 2 are nice a quiet BUT today upon full throttle and high revs I heard a whistling sound. It's not always there but it's there.

Best way to describe or enact it is by trying to whistle by breathing in (backwards whistle. Lol)

Pls note I noticed there is a tiny hole in the filter housing which I assume is to stop condensation. Maybe the air going through causes this whistle?

Madone:
There are a few threads on here where people have 'the whistle' and can't get rid of it. Dont have the threads to hand but from memory the solution wasn't found and the induction kit just removed as the end result.

I had a whistle which tuned out to be the inter cooler hose leaking slightly, you might be lucky and it be that. unlikely though if it wasn't present with the standard airbox.

Vwgtiking:
I am trying to google but some people refer to a different whistle. I didn't have it on std air box, nor with the ramair kit which I removed yesterday but I do with this kit. It is literally when my foot is stuck to the floor. I also have a new dv rev d so it can't be that.

Madone:
Search this forum for 'whistle' or similar

I found the following straight of the bat
