What does it mean when your itake system whistles when your turbo starts spooling (gradually louder) and then chirps so to speek when you let off? My engine is completely stock with no aftermarket BOV.
Thanks

Help with whistleing intake
- Thread starter DigityD'87

that 'whistle' could just be the turbo sucking air in... but i would check it for shaft play as its probably hitting the compressor housing on the inside.
is it more of a 'super-charger' whine... or is it like a constant 'whooooooooooo' sound?
that chirp should be your bov...

couldn't it just be a simple leak of air? like a hole on the rubber elbows (if you're on stock piping) is it possible for those elbows to get brittle?
cause that happened to my mr2 when i had a hole in my intake. it whistled when i gunned it and it sounded like it was turbo

i had a friend who did that to his 98 eclipse gs... it was beyond annoying... it was really dumb, cause you would hear the whistle of the intake, but the no bov... hahaha
My engine bay is 100% stock and I just did all my accordian tube and vaccum connections over. I know it's not supposed to sound like this because it just started happening about 2 days after i fixed the intake. As soon as my boost gauge starts moveing from -4lbs you can hear it and gradually gets louder. When you quickly back off the gas it almost sounds like a cheap movie sound effect of a laser if that helps.
Also, my stock temp gauge shit the bed. It goes up and down on its own. Just wondering if this was a thermostat problem or the gauge itself.
thanks

Oh it's definately a constant "wooo", but the chirp is the same sound that the turbo seems to be making but more sudden (when you let off the gas hard). And i know my BOV or BPV (whatever) is good because i cant blow throug it at all.
boost leak
Also, check the fasteners from the manifold to turbo, turbo to elbow, and elbow to downpipe. Sounds like it could be a pre-turbo leak, so look especially between the manifold and turbo.

I'm not so sure it's a boost leak because my gauge still reads 6.5-7lbs (automatic trans.)
And yes my coolent lvl seems fine allthough there is a pinhole in the line goes to the back of the cam covers and runs left across the firewall.

wtf does that have to do with a whistleing intake!??!
its probably just your turbo being normal. make a video and we'll take a listen.
^^^ nothing, except if he's giving info that might be related to another issue. temp gauge moving up and down is NOT normal, hence another issue how ever small or large it may be

i would like to hear what issue would cause a whistleing intake, and causes the temp gauge to move up and down... im rather lost on what would.
who said the temp gauge had anything to do with the whistle??! i never asked or stated that the two were related. that hard to see? i think i stated that clearly in the second post of mine that it was a sign of ANOTHER problem.
OP: Also, my stock temp gauge shit the bed. It goes up and down on its own. Just wondering if this was a thermostat problem or the gauge itself
ME: temp guage moving? you checked your coolant level?
