Strange noise resonating through my intake-PLEASE HELP
This is my 2007 WRX. I just finished up a TGV delete install in which I took off the manifold. After reinstalling everything to spec, this strange noise began after the car warmed up a little. The sound come directly from the intake. I took the filter off and the sound remains. It also increases when I turn the wheel at a stop. I checked the belt and everything is good with it. I believe the steering pump is fine to. When you lightly rev the motor, just tapping the throttle is subsides but remains on during sustained rev or driving around. When I shut off the car it makes makes another noise to (see video). Is it possible that it is a bad bearing in the turbo? It is a vf48 with 10k on it. Could something have gotten into it while I did the manifold removal and caused the sound? I really need to figure this out because it's really annoying.

I wish I got your power steering cooler!
Turns out the sound is my power steering pump going out. Probably from running aggressive wheels up here in the mountains. However, I may have over tensioned my v belt, is it possible that 10 minutes of running an overtightened belt could have caused the pump to begin failing?
Does anyone know what is a good replacement for a wrx pump?

Hmmm, maybe mine will go away. My vbelt was very tight and I suspect that may have cause it to fail, but I don't see how ten minutes of idle would cause this to happen. I retensioned it to spec today.

LOL
I was scared something like that happened at first because I only had a small shop towel shoved in there while I was reassembling the manifold but took it out for a couple hours. I was wondering if something crawled into there and died and was plugging up my turbo! lol
