After reading loads of info. on the web i am starting to worry if I have an induction problem. My car (99 UK turbo) is fitted with a K and N 57i induction kit. When the car is revved in neutral you can't tell the 57i is there. However, when under load it makes a very distinctive sucking noise under boost. i'm not talking about a little whistle, it sounds like an air line is under the bonnet!!! Also, I have no after market dump valve, but when i lift off the throttle, the standard (recirculating) unit is clearly audible. Is this normal or have I got a leak or something.
Please excuse my apparent dumbness.... I bought the car with most of its mods already on it! Sorry!!!!
