I didn't change the intake
it's still stock air box
the whistle noise sounds like a vacum machine sucking up air instead of bov letting air out

the stock tubo didn't have a gaskiet on the outlet to the lower IC pipe
yes I can hear the stock turbo spool when I pay very very close attention
but the white rabbit sounds 10x louder

ok, im talking about where the compressor side of the turbo bolts to the pipe....is that the same thing you are talking about?
Ive never replaced my lower intercooler piping, so i don't know what upgraded ones come with....does the helix one come with a new pipe that bolts directly to the turbo?

I double checked my old turbo and pipe
it just bolts up without gasket

well, there should be a gasket there. If its the stock hard pipe coming off the turbo then there should DEF be a gasket there.
i don't see how helix could make a pipe that wouldn't need a gasket there either(if they even replace that piece).
did you unbolt that pipe from the turbo when you replaced your lower intercooler piping, and bolt it back to the stock turbo...or did you do the lower IC piping with the new turbo?

What psi r u boosting? I had the same noise with another turbo upgrade. I swap to a stiffer spring in my Forge bov then the noise went away. Maybe your bov can't handle the higher boost with the WR.

My bad, you're right, if it start at 1 psi then maybe some line is leaking or WR's tail is wagging. LOL...
