puttin in that intake eliminated the use of the snorkus and stuff which silenced a lot of the sounds of the great boxer...its normal, when i had an intake it did the same coolness, but sold it to get my suspension set up![]()

I just put a new SPT Intake on my WRX and when i get to 10 Psi of boost it sounds like the turbo is blowing off but it a constant flow seems to drive the same no lag that i have noticed but the noise is very noticable should i bee worried what could this bee before the intake there was no noise at all like this

ya i have the same sound on my wrx with a snorkus delete. its normal. its just the boost settings, when you get to a certain amount of pressure it wont let you build more boost, therefore the sound. you will notice in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear the noise will be a bit louder and the turbo will be a little louder till that point because stock boost settings for those gears are higher. ( noise is due to wastegate opening, which slows down the turbo turbine therefore not making as much noise and keeping a steady boost level)
