Well I am a bit mixed right now because you are spot on about it being loud, no sorry "L O U D". The wistle of the turbo and the sound of the blow off is not really the problem, it is that sucking noise that dosent sit that well. I guess I was not expecting the CAI to be this audiable but it is a bit north of excessive IMO, so much so that I may have to look for another type of filter or get an additional peice of foam to try and defuse the sucking noise. In the upper rpm above say 4500 rpm the sucking noise goes away and is left with the acceptable high pitched wistle which I do like.
Now after driving around last night the computer had to relearn my driving pattern so the car was a bit sluggish for the first 50-60 miles then I went out to a remote area and made a couple full 5 gear hard run and the car now runs like a scolded cat as before but with a little more mid and up top power it seams the seat dyno has told me. All in all I am not disapointed but I just dont think this type of car should be annoucing itself in that manor if you get where Im coming from. Maybe it's just me.
FYI :On a side note, after reconnecting the battery, I found out the the memory of the passengers power windows didnt operate from the drivers side control switches which is a easy fix by going to each window and rolling down each window with its own switch and rolling them up again and holding the switch in the up position for 2 seconds including the drivers side and the 1 touch feature and from the drivers window control panel will return to it's standard function. This situation will occure each time the battery is disconnected.

Too loud? Are you serious? Everyone exagerates how loud this thing is and I was really anxious to start hearing the turbo/BOV sounds. Well you can't hear a damn thing with the music on and the windows up. I have to turn the music down really softly 2-3 volume to be able to hear i. 4-5 and it's barely audible when the music is going. and anything above that, you can't hear the turbo/BOV at all.

The BOV could be a little louder but then it might start to overtake the wind noise that this car has. LOL

Well congratulations are in order when the time come my friend. Look I dont mind the spooling on the turbo and the BOV rush of air, the intake sound is what I dont really care for. I guess if I had a aftermarket exhaust on the car it wouldnt be as pronounced and on would really cancel out the other but that would make even more noise over all. I am going to try a few things that could help subdue some intake noise and let you know.
Thanks Rican219 for posting your video! It's the first time I was able to hear everthing people were raving about with the CAI mod. IMHO,the BOV sounds like someone sneezing everytime a shift occurs and the sound of the intake is louder than I imagined.
I think I'm going to hold off on this mod. My car suffers from enough road and wind noise already.
