Turbo whistle or not?
Poppa Dom:
Chris, am about tonight if you want to do some logging for piece of mind. By the timing of when you have heard the whistle and how it has coincided with your carbonio I reckon that there is a good chance that it is down to a poor seal on that o-ring. The negative pressure produced is probably pulling in air around the seal creating the noise. Give us a buzz this evening if need be.
WhiteGTI:
No problem at all with the car!
According to the logs, it is running sweet as a nut! No/very low correction factors, good intake temps and requested / actual boost being met.
Thanks all.
Chris. :happy2:

For what its worth, my car kind of whistles when acellerating hard, only briefly at a particular rev range...I think its part and parcel of how the engine sounds.

LOL!!!!!!
True you did say that! I just wanted to be sure, because the noise was still there even after I refitted the O Ring and Carbonio.
But it was also good to log the car as the temperature is getting lower - as the last time we logged the car it was in the middle of the summer!
Nono, not secret meet-ups, another last minute decision. We should organise something soon though mate. Are you coming to that Reading VAG meet in a couple weeks, and also the Rolling Road in Chobham in November??
