Ive had a stage 3 ko3 hybrid done, but im a little concerned about the noise its making. On hard acceleration sounds like the engine is missing but its not miss firing no fault codes or engine management lights, been told its just sound of the air filter which is a open jetex one but i dont think so. Its sort of a mix between the 2 very strange and i cant seem to get to the bottom of it, one thing i know is, it didnt do it before i had the stage 3 done.

People say they know there car and what sounds it makes, im worried something may break, Just woundering if anyone can shed any light on this with there ko3 hybrid conversions.

Anyone?

All i hear from mine is the immense spool, and a pretty loud turbo whistle, does it feel like the car is missing?

Can you get a vid/sound clip of the noise mate?

ill try and do one,

One way i can discribe it is a low thumping sound, its very strange, i can here the turbo spoil up but i wouldnt say its a huge improvement over what it was, been told that it should be running high 280 figures but im not convinced yet.

benny- whats it like with wmi? because im really thinking about this now to finshes it off and get it all running right!
