Hey Team
have finished snorkel install on my wd21 finally - has a very strange rotary engine sound (bop bop bop bop bop).
Went for a spin - When heavy accelerating you can here the induction noise which i believe to the norm.
Sounds like a valve opening and closing or someshit - unsure am no mechanic (Sparky).
If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
Cheers

Yeah filters in it - where is that valve? Is that in the bit that goes over the top - labelled turbo ?

The bit that says "turbo" is the cross over pipe!

A valve is an internal engine component, you have 8 in the td27, 4 exhaust and 4 intake.

Do what I did and sell the d21 and buy a challenger, they never break down and cost 10k to repair 

Re: Installed snorkel - NOISEY AS F*#K
What brand snorkel do you have? Any snorkel will make induction noise loud, but the safari snorkel that hugs the roof line (google image search will show what I mean) is louder than most (close to deafening at full noise with window open) . Maybe have a listen to some other vehicles with snorkels to compare?
