Whistle/whine noise from induction on TFSI engine
Bogwoppit:
I have recently installed an aftermarket intake on my TFSI vRS Octavia, the car is standard apart from the induction kit.
It is a bit of a hybrid from a Pipercross venom kit, but with a Jetex open cone instead of the Pipercross venom filter (as it was too big physically).
From about 4000 rpm onwards on full throttle I get this annoying whistling/whining noise coming from the engine bay.
Here is a video link with exactly the same noise but from a BSH True seal intake, watch the video from about 1:12 onwards

Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas of how to cure it?
I have checked that the MAF is seated properly and the clamps are tight on the intake.
Here is a pic of my intake:
Please help.

That noise is normal with a k03.
Apparently if you install a reroute-DV kit much like the one on the k04 cars then the noise is said to be greatly reduced.
Bogwoppit:
I have lifted the intake pipe, so that it's slightly further from the turbo and it seems to have stopped it. Fingers Crossed.

My Forge Twintake (K03 Mk5 GTI) sounds like this:
^ Sorry, Here's a better sound clip and you can hear some whistling (which I don't hear inside my car):
The same intake can sound different on each individual car according to various other mods.
