Since my upgrade to the SE 103 Stage IV, I've had a noise coming from the throttle body. Its a pulsing noise and changes along with the rpm. It is noisy at idle as well as while cruising.
It seems to be the loudest under load. It is the standard SE 58mm TB.
Is a noisy TB normal? Any ideas what causes the noise?
There must be some air fluffing around the thing. Good word right? Knew a girl once---about 50 years ago.
I have one and there is no extra noise around the thing.
Some where from the intake seals, the manifold seal, (I used silicone grease on all these), and the air intake area.
Check all vacuum plugs or covers, seem like there a couple on the thing.
