Strange sound @ about 2,100 - 2300 rpm

[leech_]

Hey guys i am not sure if others have experianced this problem but i have found that it doesnt matter what gear i am in if i slowly put my foot down or plant my foot at about 2,100 - 2,300 rpm their is like a rather loud like scraping/gushing of wind that comes from the engine area. Now i know this sounds silly but is this just the turbo starting to spool a little as i noticed it still seems to happen even when the boost gauge is sitting on like -3ish which i would have thought meant that it had not even started spooling... so what the hell is it. may be nothing but still if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it.

Car is R33 GTS-T Series 2 completly stock.

Sounds pretty normal. Wouldnt worry.

yea another guy at work says his et turbo does a similar thing but i figured a second opinion might be nice

does ur car have a pod filter? if so noise is perfectly normal...

if u dont and the noise is pretty loud, u might want to have a look at ur intake, see if anythin is missing...

low25T na no pod i was going to pull apart the airbox on the weekend and make sure it all looks good in their havent had the time yet. Anything else i should check for besides the obvious ???

interooler piping, could be a leak when it starts to make boost? just a thought

I've heared quite a few cars do this when the exhaust cover (around the front pipe) is a little banged up and it rattles against the front pipe as the exhaust resonates...

hmmm that could actually be on the ball as i am getting a little rattle also in the engine bay bay but i thought it had something to do with the fan belt. hmmm thanks zahos i will look into that.
