whistleing sound when boost goes more than 10 psi
hey guys i'm not an evo owner but my friend is....he have an fp red turbo with an ams intercooler , injen pipping and tial bov...he ask me to come to the forum to ask about a weid sound that he listens to when he press the gas pedal and boost start to come up...it is like a whistle (kind of the sound a supercharge produces)...i thought about boost leak but he said the boost gauge shows 22 psi and that's what he is running so according to the gauge there is no boost leak...any comments on these????

Boost leak!
The gage won't give any indication of a leak as the turbo will just make up and run to that 22 psi setting. Even a stock turbo will still get you to 30 psi, if that is your target, even with a boost leak; it will just work harder to get there (bad/overspin).
Boost leak test...it only takes like 30 min.

i know the fp red sounds hard and i love the sound but this is not normal...my ralliart is turbo to and when he did that sound once it was boost leak...but in my case it didn't showed any boost in the gauge...i think it also depends on where you have your gauge connected...thank you guys
