I think it is to do wth the design of the turbo and the position of the DV and how the diverted air is fed back into the intake. The K04 DV feeds the air back into the intake from a different position than on the K03 and I think the noise is the air being pulled over where the diverted air is reintroduced into the intake side again and whistling. Well thats my theory anyway :rolleye:

makes sense.
The KO3 doesnt put the air into the actual intake at all does it? So not really something that can be changed at all?

I've got the WVR version (still made by ITG as far as I'm aware) K04, with a remap and absolutely no whistle at all.
Pretty much the same intakes, both enclosed as yours is Jedi.
Just whoosh, whoosh n more whoosh (and some flutter) when you floor it. When driving round town you cant even hear the intake.
Maybe ask ITG what the difference is?

I think the KO4 cars are immune because of the different DV location.
Its just odd how some KO3 cars do it and some dont. gives me hope that there is a way of stopping it at least.

Good luck, I'm sure you'd prefer your car not performing a concerto in f major every time you go quickly :signLOL:
