[Help] Strange whistle with increasing rpms
You can hear it in the video over the engine. Did and single turbo swap and the whistle was there before and after the build. Any suggestions? Nothing seemed to be cracked.

Completely different exhaust. It was an N/A when I got it. It comes from the engine bay but no idea where. Tore the upper half of the engine apart to get rod of the rats nest and installed new injectors and fuel system. New gaskets and the issue is still there.

So you had a FD that had a 13bREW engine that was NA? And you added a single turbo?
Have you checked the couplers?
There’s an ‘O’ ring on the elbow to throttle-body, as well as the throttle-body gasket. Though I think a leak in the latter would affect idle quality and be apparent for other reasons.

Yeah. I wanted more power so went all out. I’ll have to check that o ring out. My tuner said it doesn’t effect the car in any way other than that loud whistle but I hate it. My tuner who did the build even said nothing was cracked or out of shape. The wonders of a rotary haha
