Hi everyone I hope your well.

I have noticed that my engine, for some time now, especially in third gear when you are starting to accelerate and lift of the gas the engine producers like a boy racer boost sound almost like a blow off valve. It is mainly in third gear. I have a ram Air panel filter and bluespark tuning box. I can't remember if this happened before I did these mods or not but is it something to worry about at all ? Thanks so much

Probably best to take of the bluespark tuning box, they are cheap generic crap tuning boxes like the rest unless you go jb4. Once removed test the car again, i wouldnt worry about a bit of wastegate noise, generally there is more boost in 3rd gear than 1st or second. As you lift of the throttle the waste gate opens and can make a bit of noise, this will be made louder by the ram airfilter. Aslong as you have no fault codes your good to go.
