ITG maxogen whistle
jedi-knight83:
Can you do a dv relocation on KO3? Or does that involve going KO4?

You can but not sure what's involved.
That noise sounds like a dry linkage to me and as its not in line with revs that's why I thought.........!
Yes the 3 & 4 are fundamentally the same, you never know.
For the bit of time it will take you may be worth a try.

And they don't all do it so maybe a bad batch?
Who knows but worth a try.

Thing is I've heard videos of the noise with other intakes. Forge / K&N etc so its not even just the ITG.
Im fairly certain im not going to keep the intake at all now even if the whistle goes as I dont like the power delivery. I prefer the lower down grunt of the stock box.
I'll still take all the bits to Rtech on Tuesday and ITG are coming along to listen / play with it so I'll report back.
Having sampled the world of intakes though .... even if Rtech wave their magic wand and get my car running right with it fitted and ITG fix the whistle... I still think I'll sell it and re invest the money in something I will appreciate the difference with more... IE.. NQSBBK.

Unfortunately we didn't get time today to muck about fitting intakes and Andy from ITG had to cancel anyway.
Im happy with how it runs on the stock airbox now and i cant stand the whistle and doubt it will be any easy thing to find / fix so I've decided to sell the ITG and not bother with an induction kit at all.
Sorry to those who were waiting for answers but this will have to wait for someone else to look into it.
As a side note though... now i've been listening for it.. I can actually hear the same pitch noise with the stock airbox. Its VERY faint and happens for a shorter period in the revs and doesnt always happen but i've heard it a couple of times now. So I guess its a noise the KO3 makes but the extra air / metal piping from indution kits just amplifies this noise on some cars (still strage its some and not others)
Anyway. Thanks to those who gave input and feedback. I'd be interested to hear if anyone ever gets to the bottom of this.
