Well after a good day at the dragstrip - rotorstock at santapod I managed a lazy 12.4 @ 110mph , I decided to run the car on evolve's dyno on the way back and it made the following :-
How did you find launching at santapod?, I found the track was way too sticky and even with the launch control activated I just managed a 1.9sec 60ft time as the revs were dropping just as I dumped the clutch, it launches perfectly on the road though
i didnt really launch on my runs, and i wanted to me carefull on the engine and gearbox. so there is a better time to be had 
I went back down to Engine Tuner on sat for a couple of things Martyn put my car on the rollers said ithe noise was was coming from pre maf by the sound of it.
when i got hole from the drive back from ET, i double checked the seal between the maf and aps caik, that was all good.
so today i set apon trying to find it.
so the car went up on axle stands wheels off, lights bumper etc all off.
then i noticed some of the pipe work that was made up for me when i had the bigger filter on the aps kit fitted. and there was a big fookin hole in it where it had been welided. by the looks of it, it was under the silicon joiner, but had slipted down over time so the hole was not covered, and so the funny noise.
i patched the hole up and now the noise has gone!!
woohoo

Am really glad you found the source of the noise DaOne! Has it made a difference to performance now it's patched? Or was it too minor for that..

Glad you sorted it, guess its just one of those things that only trial and error will sort out
from what i can remember it was about £60 ish
i havent had aby problems so far, the normal aps caik filter is in the wing, mine is just abit lower.
i know of people running the same filter at over 500 bhp with out any problems
thanks for that, think im gonna have to do a custom jobby
im droppin the maf, so can loose all the inlet to the turbo hose really and replace is with some decent hard pipe, around my fmic pipe, into the wing and put a decent size filter on
