vodoo-chile Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Just went stage 2 and I hear a very loud audible flutter (think card in a bicycle spoke). Some people have said that they think it is normal and I disagree. Can we meet somewhere so I can here other examples? That is, Kyle
Regal05LGT Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Not in your area lol, but it is prob just the wastegate..... Might be an exhaust leak as well, what UP do you have? That is a trouble spot for some with the leaking
vodoo-chile Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 That's what it sounds like but it is very loud, as in people 3 cars over on the highway with there window up can hear it. Kyle
Regal05LGT Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Check you UP for a leak, if that's not the case search the TB if you got a leak, get some permatex ultra copper and you'll be good to go.
ScoobySTi07 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 My guess would also be exhaust leak. What all did you do to go stage 2? The easiest way to tell if it's a leak is to slide under the car with it on and just listen. It will be very apparent where the leak is. The Ridiculousness is no more But you can have your very own piece of it. **The Ridiculous Part Out.**
grimlin Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 do you have a video camera so you can upload the sound?
vodoo-chile Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Good news. I went back and rechecked all of the connections. Turns out that iforgot to tighten down the manifold to block connection. Tightened it down and everything seems alright. I would still like to meet someone with a stage 2 just to compare. Thanks for the input and help, Kyle
Regal05LGT Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 That's good to hear there is nothing wrong
grimlin Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 If you are ever in Dallas, send me a PM. There are a few of us up here. Mary
drsnobiz Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Kyle, I'm in Austin at least two or three times a month. Just got my car less than a month ago but should be Stage II within another week or two. Would be happy to meet up with you sometime to compare once I get fully upgraded.

Just send me an email or pm before you come down and we can meet somewhere. It's nice to meet fellow board members. Kyle

Sometimes the tune will change the sound because of the differences in boost. If you did, you might try readjusting the spring in it. I may be waaaay off base with that. Only say it because I noticed a difference in sound with my GFB bov after my tune.
bnguyenbb6 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Hey Kyle, I'm in Austin, STi up/Crucial Down/Cobb Stage 2 maps if you want to meet up sometime. I'm on campus M-F if you are downtown.

I'm on campus M-F if you are downtown. That would be great. Can you pm me your # and what a good time to meet would be. Things seem to be running alright but I'm not sure if a sound I still hear is an exhaust leak or normal bov noise. Thanks, Kyle
