ITG maxogen whistle
GarethB:
Mine makes exactly the same sound, under full load - with both a D valve and a G valve.
I'm glad I found someone else that has posted on it, as I thought that i was the only one.....

Hmm.. so thats at least 3-4 people that have the same noise.. so I presume that just part and parcel of the intake.
Thats a pain then... I will have to decide if I can put up with it.... and also what performance it 'unlocks' when im back at R-Tech.
I might just end going back to stock in the end though and selling the bits.

For me,It only make the noise under full load. so if you drive sensibly, you'll rarely hear it.
Personally, I feel that it adds character.
As for performance, mine made an extra 17bhp on JKM's dyno :happy2:

I think that the bottom line is that most performance mods which are worthwhile are likely to 'compromise' how your car left the factory. It's ultimately up to the individual what they will accept. Jedi, methinks that you would not like my car one little bit.

Dont get me wrong.. I like modifying and understand the pitfalls... but a whistle like that sounds wrong to me. whooshing and sucking yes ok... but that whistle / screech is an annoying noise that would make me want to avoid full throttle just so I dont hear it... and that makes the modification pointless if its means you dont want to push the car any more.
I might try pulling it apart. lubing up the hoses and pipes nicely and refitting making sure 100% its together properly but I wont hold my breath as i did a pretty thorough job the first time.
My friend has a twintake I might see if we can do an afternoon where we switch and see if that has the same noise on my car... otherwise I have been in contact with Volant and they are keen for me to set up a group buy so I might try one of those.
Just a bit of a let down when you had been looking forward to a mod and it doesnt perform as you expected.
