Anyway, My car doesnt make that whine, but I do get a bit of whistling that appears to be coming from the 1G DV.. It doesn't happen under boost at all though, it happens at part throttle or coming to a stop when there appears to be an equalization of pressure on both sides of the DV and there's not adequate spring pressure to keep it closed.

I get the same type of whistle on my mostly stock car. All I have is an HKS downpipe and hi-power cat-back. Everything else is stock. It only happens in low throttle situations taking off from a stop in 1st gear and with low throttle at low rpms in 2nd gear. The noise became noticeable after I installed my downpipe.

I think it is since I still don't see the boost taper I used to before I fixed the leaks.
WELL you are the man....i did exactly what you did and BAM NO MORE LEAKS...sweet. Next week I will take it back off and see how it is holding up and maybe i will support it a little more will the OEM gasket too.
anyways....thanks for the help....ABSOLUTE genius

where do i tap for vacuum? the new buschur pipes did not come with the little nipple that the oem did on the lower IC pipe.
also i have a 03 model and the driver side braket on the IC did not fit
im also having a hard time getting the hose from where the stock Dv was to the new 1g DV it seems that the 1g is pointing down too far and the hose has to be bent( crimped) to get it on.

Dude you posted in a 5 1/2 year old thread.
A Buschur FMIC is a bolt on affair. Pull the bumper. Take off the stock piece and bolt up the Buschur. I believe Buschur's FMIC's require you to use their LICP for bolt on fitment however.
But honestly if you need instructions to install a IC you may want rethink DIY
