Default a weard sound when accelerating

02wrx bug

Sounds like it's from the turbo area, like someone blowing a trumpet badly

Ideas anyone?

Cheers

Another vote for turbo pipe work, I had a bad clamp on a rubber section of pipe that caused a crazy noise on acceleration.

Just to update on the trumpet /fog horn sound
After checking the pipes over and over removing the I/C a couple of times without finding the fault.
I swapped out the the recirculating dump valve for another one, and all is good in the world
