Ooh, my dbilas used to do this. Replaced it with the ITG unit. Make sure you've tightened up all the clips over metal and there are no leaks anywhere, especially where it mounts onto the OEM hardware.

Could you describe the noise as 'blowing (oooh err) down a recorder too hard?"  It is a weird harmonic noise.

I think this is fairly common in some intakes. Especially the Neuspeed P-flo

:confused:

....My Twintake doesn't - Not a 'screech'. I interpret the word screech to mean a sound which is harsh and metallic like some brakes can do (not mine).
