After installing weeks kit I hear a noise which sounds like a trumpet coming from I think the driver side. The noise starts around 2000 rpm and stops around 2400 rpm. Any guesses? |

Make sure that the elbow and intercooler hoses are still connected, tight, and not leaking. |

I tried this but couldn't find any loose connections. Any hints which of these connections to check thoroughly? |

If the elbow and hose connections are all clamped tight then everything should be good to go. |

Any one that isn't properly tightened is a potential point of failure. Ditto the EGR blank-off plate; make sure that it's fully cranked-down. Currently running a Stage 1 here as well and have none of the symptoms you're describing. Are you sure that they didn't exist until after you installed the Stage 1 kit? |

Were you able to remove 100% of the existing elbow/manifold gasket material? It can break off in chunks, and in some cases needs to be scraped off. If any material remains it can cause a leak. |

yeah it definitely not present before installing kit. I did replace the original hose with a samco at the same time. , I was able to remove 100% of the gasket material as there wasn't any. |

This is a long shot, but have you dropped the serpentine belt from the pulleys and see if the sound goes away? |

Have you checked the hose from the air box to the turbo? After I installed my weeks kit I had the exact same sound coming from under the hood. It took me months to finally locate this hose had sever cracks at the turbo housing. |
