Default Fluttery Whistling Sound

Not the turbos, sounds like vacuum or something else. Any ideas?

That would be a normal turbo sound if it's reproduceable every time

Default Some of us refer to that as the "bird call" noise

I understand it's created by the bypass valves opening and closing quickly as they release boost, boost builds up, they release it again, etc.. Totally normal.

It's a very faint noise and I can only hear it when I'm slowing to a stop.
