Anyone know what this might be?? Maybe its just the green panel filter but I get this whistling noise under full accelation but mostly in fifth. Its a hawk wrx

Thanks

 

You're not talking about the turbo spooling are you?

 

Boost leak ?

 

ask your wife/gf to close her legs

 

LOL

 

is it the transmision whine your hearing

 

Have you put a standard air filter back in to see if the noise stops?

Thats a good point tony will try that!!! Def not tranmission.

Is it easy to tell if the gasket beween the downpipe and turbo was blowing out

 

could be your turbo blades getting worn because as the blades wear the gap between the fin and housing icreases and the noise they create changes,could even be sum debri has impacted the fins and slightly moved 1.

 

Car has only got 10 k on it

 

and this noise has only started since you added the panel filter because they are alot thinner in design to stock but they also can let tiny parts of debris through,which can impact the fins,it literally takes afractions movement[thou or so]to change the noise created by the turbo.

 

could be this mate got abit of a whistle coming from my bug found the gasket is leaking (hold a tissue next to it) just had a down pipe fitted so it just needs nipping up abit tighter

 

No it been there for ages this whistling!! I just turn the radio on and you cant hear it!! It could be a million things.

Def was not there tho before i decatted and changed air filter

 

ah the wonderfull world of modding lol, you had a remap yet all the mappers on here recommend it if you have a decat fitted

 

Oh yes remapped straight after decat

 

 

If it only occurs when you put radio on i'd say a suppression issue. is it a a standard head unit?

 

Small split in the hose from the turbo to the intercooler?

Needs to be fixed else you will be overspeeding the turbo.

 

It dosent start when he puts the radio on. He puts the radio on so he dosent hear it...

 

Checked all hoses and they are fine!! It only does it on full boost in 5th gear. I think its just the green panel air filter

 

ooop! my bad just re read it! mental note, do not post after alcahol!
