This strange noise is coming from my car when driving. I picked this up last night from Toyota of Wilsonville in Oregon I heard it on the test drive and said it sounded weird but had never driven a Supra or turbo car. the dealer said it’s the intake but after driving it today it didn’t do it all day… so now I’m concerned… hopefully it’s what he said it was and I can rest easy.. it’s a 2020 on an ecutek tune with a downpipe and carbon AWE intake box. Someone put my mind at ease please

That does not sound like the intake!
I was getting a similar sound when my charge pipe developed a small boost leak after my turbo upgrade..

how is power delivery? Boost come on pretty early? Like below 3k rpm?

I’m new to turbo cars but it seems perfect and today no sound at all….

When my factory charge pipe started leaking it was random.. sometimes my car spooled quickly n other times it took seconds..
To me the whistle in your video does not sound like an intake whistle..( at least not what mine sounds like)
But videos aren’t great at capturing accurate sounds..

Good luck locating the whistle ( could just be a silicone coupler somewhere?)
Have fun with your new ride it’s a great car!

I have an Armaspeed intake and have NEVER heard that. Didn't hear that stock either.

No I haven’t heard it since… now to deal with the chassis code. If you figure it out please let me know.
