*UPDATED WITH VIDS
Put a CTS Turbo intake on my B8 Avant today..... I really don't like the sound in Drive mode just cruising around town. It has an extremely high pitched whistle when you are very low boost and the car keeps shifting gears. It only makes the throaty engine/turbo spool noise when past 75% throttle. But when the wife just cruises off stop lights and drives normal, it is an unbearable high pitched whistle..... I ran CTS turbo intakes on both my Golf R and my B7 2.0t and never had this whistle before..... I am stumped. If you drive in sport mode and keep the throttle 50% or more and shift on your own then the whistle doesn't really exist. So when I drive the car, I rarely hear the whistle. However, when the wife drives the car or I drive more calm with the baby in the car the whistle is very pronounced (especially with windows down)
*Is this what all intakes sound like on 8 speed automatics? I have always owned manuals and never had anything but turbo spool noises, so that is the only common denominator I can think of.
*SPORT mode... 75% throttle
*Auto mode... 25% throttle (ANNOYING whistle)
