I notice this a lot with induction kits on the k03,  I think I will investigate it next time I get one on the dyno.  I have never noticed any power losses linked with it.

It could be to do with the n75 nipples on the turbo, for the air passing over it making a sound  like blowing across the top of a milk bottle.   But saying that I have never noticed it on a k04?

I'll keep mine on till the 24th  :happy2: and you can hear it on mine

could it be air passing by the maf? the oem intake has a mesh just before the maf i noticed?

Did someone mention nipples?  :evilgrin:

I still don't get an answer on Forge's published phone number!  :fighting: I was going to ask them about it.

I have this also sometimes on my k03 GTI, but for some reason its very rare now. In fact I cannot remember hearing it for days. I have heat wrapped my intake so maybe that helped a bit.

And I had the same ITG intake on my Leon Cupra (k04) and as Nick here said, I never heard this sound in that car.

Interesting development.

First a tiny background on my specific intake. I bought it from a guy who had it fitted for a few weeks but removed as it whistled. ITG sent him the enclosed canister to see if that fixed it. It didnt. So he sold the whole kit... to me.

I sent Andy at ITG the sound file.. its the same sound as the previous owner was getting. Andy sent me a video clip the other guy sent him and its exactly the same noise (although possibly a bit worse on his car.

I'll try to post the video.

As usual with such problems which aren't immediately obvious, it has to be a process of elimination.

Has anyone tested for the 'whistle' by changing DV yet? - Surely worth a go.

the guy I bought it from changed his and it didnt affect the noise.

Just spoken to Andy@itg again and either i'm going to his or he is coming to meet me at R-Tech on the 24th (I need to clear this with Nick first) to listen to the noise on the dyno.

He says they have had a handfull of noises like this out of the hundreds of kO3 kits they have sold and never any on the KO4 kits.

Pretty sure that i've already stated that the noise occurs on mine with both Rev D & Rev G DVs. Can't comment on the Forge DV though  :happy2:
