Hello all, I need some help/advise, I have a LC 1.8T AUQ engine, I relocated my DV and all of a sudden the sound has changed to a really LOUD flutter/chatter
I've ran the following tests (if you can call them that)
Removed the air filter and it still makes that sound
Removed the hose going to the TIP and still makes that sound
I took it all apart and put it back together again, and still makes that sound
I'm a bit concerned as I've been told that these engines are not suppose to make this sound, can any one advise me as to what to check next? the next thing for me to try is to remove the DV relocation and put it back to the normal location, but surely there must be a reason for this noise? a lot of people have done this mod but have not had flutter, just a wee increase in DV noise.
My engine Spec:
Forge 007p with YELLOW spring
TIP
A'pexi Power Intake cone filter
3" down-pipe
2.5" de-cat
2.5" straight through exhaust
FMIC
Stage 1 map
Picture of engine:
All your help would be appreciated, I'm scared the turbo will go pop, yes I've heard this flutter/chatter sound so many times on other car's, but never on a VAG 1.8T engine.
