A few weeks ago I took out the black silencer box that connects to the Low Intercooler pipe. And now in 4th and 5th gear you can hear loud whistling from most likely the turbo, i know whistling is usually a sign of the turbo going bad, but ive checked both sides of the turbo and no wheel play that i could notice. Could removing that silencer make that much more noise? I dont mind it at all if its safe. I couldnt care less. Also I did the BOV dump Tube cut at the same time and could it be more intake noise as well? thanks.
