hey man im getting a GTI soon, just wondering in general what the difference was after you put a new intake in. I might just scratch the intake upgrade and go for ECU
@linespermillimeter The microphone in the beginning is positioned by the intake, so that is what you are hearing, the engine sucking in the air. There is no atmospheric blow off on this car. I have an upgraded Diverter Valve from BSH that is apart of this intake that makes the "blow off" sound more like a cough, but again, this system is sealed, no atmospheric blow off.
is it just the video or can you really not hear the turbo at all even with an intake? ive noticed in a lot of gti videos the turbos seem to be completely silent.
No, it is from the DV relocate bung being capped off. When the air rushes by it, it creates a howling noise like when you blow into an empty bottle.. Try adjusting the tube and filter and it should go away.

What makes that Darth Vader sound? Do you have a blow off valve? Other videos on YT of the BSH intakes dont make that "pffffhhh" sound.

0:58 sounds like a jet engine.
I like this intake, but the high pitch sound would make me nuts. Didn't plan on replacing the DV just yet...

is that high pitched squeal coming from the intake?
dethklok23 2 years ago
I assume it's the divert valve, from what I have read.

It has something to do with the placement of the DV on the turbo. It goes away if you get a DV relocation kit.
I have the same car and intake and i get the same noise.

I noticed that too, really haven't had it looked at yet. Car is still under warranty, but I'm sure they will not cover it. Who knows.
