my turbo when under very slight acceleration will make a whistling sound.

sounds like a person whistling or something.

has anyone else got that?

on the weekend i changed back to a standard bov because the other wasnt working correctly, so now the intake sounds from the pod sound completely different too.

thats not a problem is it?

depends what pod filter you have, some make a slight whistle at about -0.4bar, due to turbulence. the stock bov does actually change the induction noise the pod filter makes, perfectly normal. It will be more distinct with the stock bov.

when i got the exhuast done on mine with the dumpy it whistled and then when the pod went on you could really hear loud sucking and you could still hear the sucking although not as loud when in vacuum...

i would think its normal, if your worried go get the car checked out to ease your worries

Isn't it more like 150,000 RPM lol ?

right on the money

The Stock turbos go between 80,000 and 120,000 rpm... hence the idling required before you shut the motor off to feed them oil while the spin down to a low enough speed.

The whistle is normal. Mine whistles, and apparently its the air going throught the air flow meter wires, or the turbo sucking in all that nice air.

If you open the intake up, and the dump pipes the turbo is going to get more air, hence the whistling. So stop panicing dude, its just air noise. Learn to love it.. Cause I absolutely love that noise... You know the bitch is working :(

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
