Default whining when turning?

hey guys recently my tt has been making a whining or groaning sound when i make sharper turns it still feels n handles fine, any ideas?
and another random question, is it a good idea to go stage 2 with a bigger maf housing n a 4bar fpr on my stock ko3s? (22psi), and do u guys think my tiptronic tranny will handle the increase?
thnx in advance

That's a definite, I've heard the whine before too and then refilled it.

Just make sure it's the proper mineral fluid. New ones are just about always backwards compatible. As for the Maf, don't mess with those. No real gains will be made.

P/s fluid is probably leaking from somewhere, filled mine every once in a while, then all of a sudden at like 1 AM one night, no power steering. Turns out it had been filling the boots of the rack and the rack crapped out lol. Don't mess with the FPR and don't mess with the maf, do a DP and exhaust, diverter, typical crap, I have APR stage two with all the usual crap and it's fantastic, tranny will be fine.

Ko3's do 20-22psi easy. Ay more and it's just to much heat and not much airflow more
