Hey guys,
I just installed my new Fastman TB after all the rave reviews on this and other boards. Now I notice a pretty loud whistling sound every time I step on the gas. Is this normal, and if so, what is causing it? Bigger bores, maybe? Anyone else experience this??
Thanks in advance!

Did you change the gasket when you installed the new TB?

Did you put the air hat on right? I had the air hat off once and didn't have it seated correctly on the TB and when you stepped on it, it made a slight whistle. That might be it, or a bad gaskit.

it sounds like a vaccum induced leak at either the throttle body gasket or an unplugged vaccum line, power brakes and egr valve working correctly? how many Ihg is the vehicle producing?

Thanks so much for the suggestions, guys. I think I will change the gasket and see what happens. Also, the TB came with 4 new bolts that I didn't use because I was so excited to put it on and so I didn't see them in the box. Anyways, I noticed that the bolts are smaller than my stock ones that, by the way, slightly protrude into the bores. Would this cause the whistle?
Thanks again for the help!

Sorry, let me clear that up.... A small part of the heads on the stock bolts protrude into the bores. I don't know if that sounds worse or better. I wish I had pics.
