Bit of a weird one, but I'm having issues with something somewhere rubbing on either the firewall or on the backside of the hood. It's driving me nuts! It has something to do with the air induction on the Banks Sidewinder kit, at least that's my guess because it only started doing it after I took apart the air inlet a couple of times for maintenance. No matter how many times I take it apart and try to re-adjust stuff, it keeps coming back. I've managed to quiet it down a bit by wrapping the AC hose with a bit of foam insulation (the same kind of stuff you use on pipes in your house), but that just kinda changed the tone rather than eliminate the noise. It's clear this hose is very close to the hood, though, because the new insulation is crushed flat on the upper part in a few spots.
I'm wondering if those with the Banks kit (or really any IDI turbo, I guess), have removed the liner from the under side of the hood and if that has caused any paint issues. I think getting it out of there would provide me with just a little more clearance to make everything happy, but if the heat from the turbo is going to affect the paint, I'll have to figure something else out.
