Default What the is this noise coming from?
I posted two videos, my car seems to make a strange whistle noise right when it hits like 3200rpms?
What could this be?

i think that's the sound your turbo makes before it dies. like a dentist drill.

just curious... seeing your intake... can u actually see a difference in power? seeing it back in the engine more with the heat seems counter productive... just curious

Uhm, no power difference, some throttle response, and a deeper tone during acceleration.


It usually only happens when my oils not up to 180 degrees

My car does the same thing. I always just assumed it was the turbo.

Do you think it may be a boost leak?
Or is my turbo failing?

do you see any white residue forming at the forward most part of your cat? could have burned the gasket there and have a small exhaust leak
