Whistling noise at speed

**sierra055** · 19-09-2007, 09:54 PM

Hi guys, this might be a really dumb question.... but does/has anyone else get a weird whistling noise whilst driving at higher speeds ( like above 70km/h)?

It sounds as though air is getting in the window rubbers, but I can't feel anything?!

It's driving me nuts!!

I have a whining sound at about that speed. Goes away when you lift off the throttle. I fixed it by turning up the bass on the subwoofer.

i have a aftermarket fmic i kept one of the standard pipes of the intercooler and now it shat it self and blew a hole in it. so there is my whilstle....

also my boost doesn't hold as much as it should because of this leak... the whistling sound only happends when i hit 10psi+

Lots of oil at the Intercooler pipes = oil seeping from turbo

If it's hitting your manifold after the intercooler, turbo is definately close to being shagged.
