Hey everyone I have been lurking these types of posts regarding the aftermarket intake resonance sound for a while now and I had an update you folks might be interested in.
I have had a MAPerformance intake installed on my car for about 3 months now and especially with a tune the resonance noise was annoying the **** out of me. I tried different tunes and some more than others kept the turbo spooled and air flowing thru the intake system at a speed/velocity where the resonance noise didn't bother me too much but there were obviously trade-offs and it seemed like i could have a tune that drove crappy and reduced the bottle blowing noise, or i could have a good tune and the bottle blowing noise would increase.
Anyway, I also noticed some chirping on my stock diverter valve which got me interested in the GFB DV+ adapter
SO..... after 3 days of running the DV+ i cannot for the life of me replicate the resonance noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have tried replicating the noise with the car at cold start in cold weather, warmed up in warm weather, and any combination of these conditions - absolutely no noise! It has been a bit warmer here in MN lately and in the hot weather i for sure get no resonance. I drove to work this morning and it was around 62 degrees mild humidity (a case where I was getting resonance before) and its not happening even it that condition.....
SO perhaps this noise is caused by the stock diverter valve??? Is anyone getting this resonance noise running a BOV?? TO me it kind of makes sense that since the aftermarket intake makes the diverter valve "pshh" off throttle louder that it would make any other funny noise caused by the diverter valve louder.
Either way im a bit suprised, with what I am experiencing lately and I am interested in yalls thoughts on this
Thanks,
JS
