04 Sti leak? Lag?
Hey everyone,
So I have an 04STi and I've been having a high pitch whistling sound coming from the engine bay when driving. Specifically, when I'm in high gear at a lower RPM, it sounds like there's some kind of hose leak perhaps? At first I thought it was just my SPT intake but they're two completely different sounds. I don't know, sometimes it feels like there's a lag in response when I press down on the gas pedal as well. Any ideas what this might be? Thanks for your help! :]

I'll definitely do that when I'm home. 2 of my hoses cracked from the boost control solenoid but I replaced those; thought that was the problem but the air leak is still there. Thanks!

Took it to Garage 1 and they tested for leaks but found none. Said my clutch was making the noise but I got that replaced and it's still there. Not sure what else it could be.. maybe my intake?
