i fitted my j performance fmic yesterday, too my ct9 setup.all clamps are nice an secure n everythings back together, but... when i drive there seems too be a whistling noise.

is that due too the change of intercooler? or isit boost leak?

me an my mechanic cant figure out why it making that noise. so any help might put my mind at ease, an also will be repped

thanks

any chance do you have your dumpvalve blocked of? maybe the pipe your suposed to put the screw into, think that happened in my previous glanza,

the only thing i can really advice is triple check all the pipes and clamps on the intercooler etc, hope you get it sorted mate

As they've all said, make sure the seal between the turbo and hot pipe is tight, I had this problem when i had my gt, seems the like gasket that sits between the turbo had cracked.

Too rule other parts out get some Pvc and tape up/over lap each rubber hose on the ic one at a time and when it stops you've found your bone! =]

Nope but its a way i used when it was frustrating me, as stu said the DV could be leaking also, or even the pipe leading to it!

bailys are notorious for leaking mate, take the DV off and block the hole on IC and see if you get the same problem.
