Mine is GTi, and yes, got a Twintake! Actual whistle to one side, is it actually affecting performance do we know??

....So far we are pretty confident that performance is not being affected.

Is yours a KO3 turbo?
And from listening to the 2 videos its exactly the same noise?
I think its clear its not just the ITG then... but still very odd how it affects some cars and not others...
Its also clear its not such a rare case as ITG thought though.. its just rare that people complain direct to them I guess.

Yes, mine is a KO3, i guess i would never have thought it a problem, so would never have raised it if you guys hadn't. I recently had a Rev G DV fitted, so thought it might have something to do with that tbh! It only happens in low gears at low revs, so only accts for about perhaps 10% of my actual driving. From what i can make out, it's not affecting my performance!? I will have to listen to that video, see if yours is worse...

....People are often shy about complaining face-to-face directly to manufacturers but, as many have said to me (who isn't shy), without feedback how can we know and then do anything about it? They prefer to complain about a problem to their friends. English reserve? :rolleye:
'Complaining', as long as it isn't done rudely or angrily, provides valuable feedback.
