If that offers nothing then I’ll do the intercooler pipes.

I would have thought a T5-R with circa 240bhp would have a good shove when on boost.

One thing I noticed tonight, if I rev the car with the airbox lid lifted I can hear the turbo but there’s a momentary whistle briefly, not turbo whistle and actual as though a person were to whistle a short sharp “peep” as you blip the throttle. Is this an indication of a leak somewhere that is being voiced through the airbox lid??

All thoughts welcomed!!
If you remove the turbo air intake pipe it makes the the connection on the compressor housing you need a bit easier to get to I did mine recently
