hi every one i installed some piping yesterday and for some reasong im getting some wierd wind up noise once i get to 2500rpms. if i go up hill under a higher load it make the noise at 2000. ive also reved the car and i here no winding. i tried making sure it wanst my blow off but that seems fine. im looking at the car and every thing looks ok but it still make the wierd sound. does any one know where i should begin.

maybe you just hear your turbo spooling up

When I put on the ams lower pipe the turbo spool was louder. If it boosts ok should be fine.

Sorry, I don't know what to say....I have the Helix piping too, but haven't experienced anything weird. Maybe you have a leak somewhere? Have you tried checking to make sure all the clamps are tightened and all the hoses are connected properly?

I belive I read somewhere on evom that someone bought an IC piping (not usre what prand though) and was having minor issues and it ended up being a pinhole in the pipe causeing a very small boost leak

the car feels like it hold boost and the rpms stay steady at 900 but it just soundds wierd. i need to make sure every thing is tight for the warm and fuzzys. on thing that is wierd is th blow off isnt going off right so maybe theres my problem. ill see, thanks for your comments
