bump.

pulled off the filter, makes the same sound. So i think it could be something in the MAF

 

Sexual Favors still for sale?

I had to do it. I have no idea what's wrong but good luck with the troubleshooting. Feel any difference in performance since this has been happening?

 

no difference in performance as stated in my orig post. After i cleaned out the EGR valve i actually noticed a little more pick up

 

its def. not the mass airflow. cuz that just meters how much ait is going into the engine so it can put in a certain amount of fuel.
i wonder if your egr is stuck open, cuz i believe that sensor puts exhaust gas back into the engine. maybe your hearing that. how much does it cost for a new egr? if its not to much. try replacing it

 

ok well this morning i messed with it all some more. The sound is actually coming from inside the manifold somewhere. So i sprayed some cleaner in there and scrubbed it a bit. Then reset the ECU. It seems the noise has gone down quite a bit, i had to lift the hood to hear it. But it is still there a little

also the EGR costs $100'ish. This all started when i removed my stock one and cleaned it. But if it was damaged, i would know, there would be CELs and idle problems. I have neither

 

that is true.
and thats expensive
id say leave it

 

buy some seafoam.

 

i use seafoam regularly. Every other oil change. I have to change my oil this weekend so i will use some then.
But i've been driving my car around some more today and the volume of the sound has dropped a decent amount. So i will give the intake manifold a hard core cleaning on saturday

 

So did you ever find out what the wooshing sound was??

I only hear the ticking sound once and that because i have an oil leak.

 

nope. never figured it out. Although i cleaned out the intake manifold and made it significantly quieter.

plus i have a new issue. When i go in park, my revs go up and down between 700 - 1000 rpm's, only after i've been driving for a while.

My EGR valve is probably busted somehow. So i will replace it eventually. I'm not to worried about it though cos my car is running great. So i will do it all when i install the turbo

 

In all the vids, I see ur SES light on, I thought u said it wasn't on, maybe I'm not lookin at the right thing, but I do see it

 

at start up it tests all of your warning lights to make sure they are still working so you prolly do see it. but then it goes off after 3 seconds.
