So this weekend I had a 2 hour window to work on the car (getting used to married life). I installed mulemans former O2 intake manifold with the Q45 TB.

Yay!
Install was pretty easy, I want to re-route some stuff and switch to 3 inch piping for the cold side, etc. Anyway.. the car started up just fine and idles rock solid. My issue is that I hear a high pitched whine/whistle type noise and it varies by rpm. I tried checking for vacuum leaks and couldn't find any. I noticed that my boost gauge reads a tiny bit less vacuum than before. I didn't have time to pressure test, but that will be next on the agenda. I don't think it's normal, but then again I've never seen/heard an O2 stage 2 intake manifold in person. Here is a video with the sound, please don't mind me scolding my brother :D
