Hi All,

I fitted a K & N panel filter to my buge eye today and have noticed the turbo noise has increased as well as a slight amount of dump noise (very faint)

Is this normal? The airbox lid is all on properly and it was so simple to fit there was no way i could get it wrong!! (2 clips, lift lid and remove old, slide in new one, 2 clips back down)

Is it because the OEM filter is thicker and reduces more air getting through?

Thanks
Iain

 

Dont worry m8 perfectly normal,breaths easier

Remove the resonator and it will increase even more

 

Thanks Morpheous...

I did look at removing the resonator as well. Seems like quite a bit of work though!

Car does seem to rev a lot free'er <(if that is a word!!) now so quite chuffed.

How long did it take you to remove the resonator?

 

Do a search m8 theres loads of links on here and pictorials..
Basically takes about 30 mins

 

Got it... Brill thanks

 

PMSL - you got the wrong smiley mate.........

you should have used this one...

Oh well brought a laugh to me !!!!!

 

I can't believe the conicidence (sp?) of this post..!

I fitted a green filter to my 05 WRX last week and noticed straight away the turbo noise had increased, however only today I also noticed what I thought was a slight 'dump' noise but dismissed it as my imagination (or the curry I had last night..!). Now having read this post I must have been boost dump.

It's just I thought that with a resc. dump valve you didn't hear anything..?

PS morpheous I should have the IC ready by next week if you're still interested..? (sorry for the delay)

Cheers for that McWRX
