jham Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hello,i think i may have a possible boost leak, car makes a very loud whistle when on boost, car feels like it pulls ok but its just a real loud whistle compared to other turbo cars ive had.Ive had a brief check and cant see any loose hoses or splits, i am runnin what looks like a replica HKS dump valve, is it possible this could be Sh*t and causing it to leak? It has an adjustable screw on back of BOV, ive tightened this up to the max and it has made no difference, i thought this may make a chatter when it dumps also but it sounds the exsact same?any ideas?

Lukew360 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Is your air filter relocated or have you taken the standard air box out?Mine whistles pretty loud on standard boost and I'm sure it's normal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
