Default weird whistle

Hey guys,

so i had an issue where i would hit only 7 psi, not sure what fixed it but i replaced all the tubes from the air intake to the actual solenoid to the wastegate actuator to the turbo. and now i hit 14psi, but for some reason when i go WOT, i get a whistling noise, however i dont think its a boost leak? but it may be?

does anyone have any suggestions?

Due to being a uni student my funds arent there so the car is basically stock except for:

catless down pipe
catless 3" cat back exhaust
intake silencer removed

Not sure if its possible but there is a t piece on the intake manifold, has a tube that runs from under the manifold and comes back to the front of the manifold into this T piece, when removed, the car sounds like a muscle car, is it possible that somewhere on that line there is a fault? see the photo for a better shot of what piece i mean

or maybe my BPV is leaking somewhere? but its weird because its only at full boost and i dont hear it unless im between 4500 to 6000rpm and its only just happening


Cheers for any help wrx'ers
Josh

Did you replace the tube that has a small restrictor pill in it? I would suggest that you take a look at this thread if you have...

Whistle will most likely be leaks.

Recheck everything including hoses from turbo, tmic and bov.
