From what I've seen from other people with the DV Spacer, that noise is normal.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking myself. I feel like the combo of both will just naturally bring that noise out 👍🏽
For those wondering,the DV spacer is designed to make the Stu Stu Stu noise. I’m running this exact intake and DV spacer on my gti, it’s perfectly safe.ECS tuning made a video for it.
Thank you 🥲🙌🏽
Danko!👍🏿🙏🏿 (thank you)
THIS COMMENT -> Okay let me explain something: the stututu is turbo flutter. What is turbo flutter? Its air traveling back towards the cold side of the turbo and scraping along the fan lines and distributing the air back OUT through the air intake.
This isnt good for the turbo, but its far less harmful than a BOV. Chances are it will not degrade your turbos life by much, but it is incentivizing the turbo to spin the opposite direction. This can cause turbo lag when getting back on the throttle.
By getting a high flow turbo inlet pipe, you reduce this air going back into the turbo because their is higher flow for the air to be distributed into the atmosphere, and makes the “ssssssewwww”from the closing of the throttle plate much louder, but less “stututu”. In theory this is healthier for your turbo, but doesnt give you the coveted sound that everyone is after.
Weigh what is more important to you, the stututu sound or the performance of your turbo? For manual drivers like me, a high flow inlet pipe is the only way to minimalize the turbo lag getting back on throttle.
Highly appreciate the comment 🙌🏽
Thank you for typing that all out so I didn't have to, the Stu's are completely normal running restricted air. In order to get those screws on easily you remove the turbo inlet and battery and boom you have access to your heart's content. Keep the build going and you will get hooked and look back and chuckle at yourself. I look back on myself and laugh.
The smaller filter is for for the crank case breather. You can use a filter or oil catch can, or a catch can filter combo
Might need to do a future oil catch can install vid 👀👀 appreciate the info!
The pain from the muffled scream 😂😂😂😂
Sounds amazing
Thanks boss ⚡️
That loud stu stu noise is normal it's cause your running the stock inlet pipe or elbow I had that setup for a year thr second you change the inlet pipe the sound will be bit more quiet but the swoosh noise will sound great
I’m not gonna lie my next upgrade was going to be an inlet pipe! I love the stututu noise but if it goes away it’s okay I guess :/ did you notice any differences from: stock -> upgraded inlet pipe?
@@WAYFURSMEDIA to be completely honest the sound is the only upgrade you get and that's minimal. Until you start tuning your car and putting more boost into your car you won't feel any difference. HP gain could be counted on one hand.
Welcome to Turboland!
My guess is that its a very small spacer doesn't flow enough, so there is still surge and the big intake amplifies the "flutter" ...not good for the turbo
My dude, the DV spacer isn't necessary with an open intake like that. I have an open intake on my highly modified alltrack and didn't notice any sound difference, but I did have that turbo flutter you heard. I was able to repurpose the DV spacer I have on my GTI because I just went with a modified stock box setup. I definitely noticed the sound difference with that one. The DV spacer does nothing with an open air intake because it's an atmospheric release DV.
I understand, but my car isn’t highly modified & I did notice the DV spacer makes a little bit more of a noise with it on. I don’t care about going fast or anything like that. I just enjoy daily driving my car and hearing the woosh noise haha but I appreciate the feed back! If I did highly modify my car, the DV spacer 100% wouldn’t be on my car (:
My Alltrack was only stage 1 when I had the spacer. Made zero sound difference. It's now is38 and makes the same noise. The spacers are for a stock box. Made all the difference on my GTI with no flutter. Love your setup tho dude. I'm a mk7 fan boy fo sho. If you're not tuned already go IE st1. Huge difference especially with the DSG tune. Well worth it homie.
@@snowj720 I was definitely looking into tunes! I’m just not happy with California laws and smogging 😵💫 do you have a video by chance? 👀 of progress or anything
@WAYFURSMEDIA ugh, yeah those Cali laws suck. I'm so glad we don't have that I the dirty mitten. I actually have most of a video done for my Rtrack but wanted to reshoot the drive around part, get some launches, and do something special for the beginning. I'll probably do one for the GTI when I do more to it. So far nothing big just stage 1 IE, modded intake, inlet elbow, dv spacer, dog bone insert, rsb. The goal this spring is fmic, dp, st 1+/2 whatever IE calls it. Then it's their flex tune and hpfp.
Fuck it ima buy a GTI I always wanted one
Why would a cop care if you have a modded car unless it's illegal in your state.
Did you have to wear in the valve spacer to get the flutter noise? I installed mine today on my cc and it sounds like what the cold air intake did (installed it earlier, sounds like just air evacuating the turbo) but just louder and more pronounced
does the vacuum hose you disconnected from factory airbox not plug into that small air filter?
Stupid question, but did you line up the notch on the diverter to the hole on the spacer?
It's normal 👍
Thanks my dude 🙌🏽
Awesome
Thanks man I appreciate it 🤙🏽
Let me know if you figure out if that noise is safe or not... Cuz I'm gonna order the ECS cold air intake pretty soon and I thought you only hear the stututu if you put the diverter valve on backwards or some shit. Try flipping it around? Idk lmao but lmk please
Okay so I only heard the turbo flutter when the DV spacer & CAI we’re both installed. When it’s only the CAI installed, you only hear the wooosh noise. Which would be safe 👍🏽 the DV can only be installed one way as well 😁
The diverter valve is designed to make that noise. ECS tuning made a video for it
idk why people like that sound. Lol. Sounds dumb. I have a 2020 Mk7.5 with a stage 2 tune. Stock air intake with k&n filter. CTS downpipe and intercooler with pipes. Sounds amazing already.
Have you done any mods prior to this? I have a mk7 and was thinking about getting an intake for it like this one but im not sure if other mods are needed to make sure everything is safe
From my understanding no other supporting mods are needed when installing.
You can slap in the intake with nothing else needed at all. If you're getting an intake make sure to get the sai secondary breather filter with it. Most intakes you get online usually have a drop down option to add it to your cart. Also get yourself a set of picks to help with the vacuum line. If you're feeling confident in your abilities, get yourself a turbo inlet pipe to install as well. The stock inlet pipe is extremely restrictive so if you keep it with the upgraded intake it kind of defeats the purpose. Any questions I'm always happy to help.
I bought an AEM intake for my Jetta mk7 around 650 bucks that’s what I paid not sure if it was too much or because of the logistics, wanna see it working ? Btw I’m from southern Mexico
Sure 👍🏽
when i had my gti i had the same combo wit a diff intake but that noise is normal
Appreciate it fam 🙌🏽
Dude I got the intake from Urotuning and the SAI didn’t come with that adapter thing but I’ve seen other people just pop it on to the hose directly. I’ve tried putting it on like that but it ain’t going on. Any advice
I don’t wanna give wrong information, but from what I’ve been reading, I guess there’s different models with and without the SAI? Idk.. I just knew my car had one and I needed that adapter. I’d say get an SAI with the adapter to be safe than sorry. Or try to make a proper adapter if anything 👍🏽 keep me updated with what you end up doing!
@@WAYFURSMEDIAyeah it took a lot of force to put it in and some of the lining got pushed down a bit but I’m not sure if it’s actually damaged or not. Is the SAI just for check engine lights or is it actually real important thay if it’s damaged it’s bad for my turbo or engine
@@haroonnavaid8859 I’m no certified mechanic, I don’t wanna mislead you with wrong information. I would check forms to be exact but I would assume it’s just for CEL. I may be wrong tho.
SAI is used for cold starts due to a usually rich fuel prime when you first crank your engine. It's to help clean up emissions. I would definitely have a filter on it, but you can literally tape it to the hose if needed and zip tie in under the air box if you don't have a mount. As long as it's not blocked you won't get a CEL. Now I want to try it with my hand over it and see if it pulls a code.
So it is safe the sututu?
Don’t quote me, but I believe having both the spacer/CAI makes that noise. Usually, if people unplug the DV sensor, it makes that noise as well, but it’s unsafe to do it that way.
Does this work on the ea888 1.8t motor?
idk ima order and hope for the best
lol my GLI makes the same noise
