Ok I just put all the stuff back on my car finally. Originally the alternator went out so I put in the 80amp upgrade from the mk3's. While it was not running I've taken the headers off (wrapped them and painted them), radiator (used and air compressor and cleaned it all up and down where it was seated), all the belts (had to replace the alternator belt with one that was an inch longer), intake and throttle body (intake cause it was in the way and easier to get at things and throttle body cause it was pitch black in there), and a few other things, hoses and such and cleaned alot of stuff, and painted my valve covers
I just finished putting it all together right now, I made sure everything was done, put in the battery, started it up and I expected a little clunkyness at first and stuff, so I started it and it shut right off, was like, huh, did it again, went and looked around and was like, duh, the AFM isn't hooked up. So I hook it up, and try to start it again, and now it ran great, exept I started to hear this grinding type sound. I got out and checked around and I assumed it was the belts and pulleys making noise since it was coming from around there. I put my head down to listen and it was coming from the left, moved my head left and AH HAH! there it is... huh? it's coming from the intake!?
Now a while back I put a K&N cone filter on my car, I heard this same grinding noise since it's more open and it was quiet and has been that way ever since. but after today it's alot louder. it's this whining, slight grinding noise coming from the intake, It's loud enough that I can hear it from in the car with the door open.
Any idea what this is or if it's bad or what?
