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.

Glad to hear that ITG are prepared to look into the matter and not shy away. I'm really tempted to come join you at R-Tech as further evidence of the noise.

perhaps its worth emailing andy at ITG so he is aware of the problem. At present he said he is only aware of a handful of whistles but I think its a bigger problem than he knows about.

Mine does it too.  Kind of glossed over it really and never thought to much of it.  Noise  increases with more aggressive maps on the SPS select switch all from around 3500 rpm.  Had Revo tweek my map today and no problems with engine meeting boost levels as you might expect from a damaged DV.

I had my head in a TFSI k03 today trying to see what it could be,  It could be related to the breather pipe from the cam cover to the turbo, or linked to the bleed off side of the n75 both of which are on the inlet side of the turbo.    Only way to find out is plnk them off and do some test runs.

cool well im still going to try the twintake on my car as well to see if that makes the noise.

Unrelated... sort of.. but my mpg is still terrible since fitting this (and no not because i've been driving like a mad man everywhere  :P) Just went for a very gentle drive and was under 23mpg again

this is interesting / slightly annoying.

I take it your mk6 intake is the enclosed canister that attaches to the oem pipework that then runs along the back of the engine to the turbo.

So this disproves my theory that its the metal piping vibrating as yours doesnt have the same set up?

My K&N Typhoon intake did this as well.  I think it is to do wth the design of the turbo and the position of the DV and how the diverted air is fed back into the intake.  The K04 DV feeds the air back into the intake from a different position than on the K03 and I think the noise is the air being pulled over where the diverted air is reintroduced into the intake side again and whistling. Well thats my theory anyway :rolleye:
