![]() I recently got my car back from it's injector/intake/fuel pump install. The car runs like a BEAST, but it now makes a whistling/sucking sound at idle (in the engine compartment). y mechanic told me it's normal because of the intake/MAF/TB sucking more air. Is this true? Anyone else w/ this prob? Any suggestions or ideas what it could be? Help PLEASE!

![]() It's that BBK TB. There is a hole in the back of it where air passes, and theat creates the whining sound that your hearing I believe.

![]() Welcome to the club. You should only hear it when coming to a stop or at idle.

![]() Yup, it's that BBK TB. I have one and it sounds like a freakin jet airplane comin in for a landing. I think it sounds kinda cool though. That combined with the whine of my blower sure makes people look twice.

![]() You guys are awesome. I've been doing some online research and that's exactly what I found out - the BBK TB is the answer. Now that I know what it is, I do think it sounds cool. I just didn't want it to be anything wrong. Thank God. Now, the ? is.....why does it do it??? Thanks guys.
