Ooh, my dbilas used to do this. Replaced it with the ITG unit. Make sure you've tightened up all the clips over metal and there are no leaks anywhere, especially where it mounts onto the OEM hardware.

i think it may just be a sound you get when you fit an intake fella, i know twintakes make the same noise on Wot

i was thinking the diverter valve may have a split in it so was gonna try a rev d and see if that stops it

Could you describe the noise as 'blowing (oooh err) down a recorder too hard?"  It is a weird harmonic noise.

I think this is fairly common in some intakes. Especially the Neuspeed P-flo

:confused:

....My Twintake doesn't - Not a 'screech'. I interpret the word screech to mean a sound which is harsh and metallic like some brakes can do (not mine).
