Installed JWT POP charger, protect or move the ac line?

Silicon spray lubricates rubber and plastics so a shot in the right place would make the squeak, rub, whatever temporarily go away giving you a general location of where its coming from. (Silicon spray is also great stuff to rejuvenate your door seals etc.). I have the Stillen Z tube and air intake - so far no squeaks. I would recheck all clamps and screws to make sure they are tight then I guess worst case you would have to drop the splash pan and look up from the bottom to see if there is a tight spot that might be rubbing - or worse yet, pull everything out and reinstall. Good luck.

I think everything sealed..i dont know though...but i will check again next time i have a free "day"...everytime ive installed or un-installed, ive kind of rushed things...(my buddy matt, installed my ztube for me the first time, and i never heard any noise, but after i put the popcharger on, and did that myself...is when i started hearing the noise..maybe youre right?? maybe there is an air "leak" or something? i dont know...if anything..it would be from the throttle body side, cause the side near the MAS should be good, but we'll see..

OK, guys...i'm a dumbazz... my buddy came over just as I had finished installing my ztube/popcharger...and he tells me that it is SUPPOSED to sound like that. hahah. He has an intake in his v8 truck, and we went for a ride in both mine and his, and they sound the same....unbelievable...
I'm not stupid when it comes to cars...but ive had a cone filter and tube on my old lancer and it did NOT suck in air like this does..it's very quiet on that car, but i guess b/c of this engine, it's loud..I've got some videos...err let me see if these work

I guess just a bump re: that squeak sound. I initially thought that I had a rub, or a leak somewhere too because I had the same squeaking sound (usually when getting on the throttle, at around 3-4k rpms) but was told it was pretty normal.
As someone who had been driving boosted vehicles the last 7 years, it was new to me too and thought something was wrong . Either that, or my G had acquired a weird sounding BOV.

I would like to thank all of you for your ideas as I just noticed my a/c line was rubbing. I used a tie to pull back the a/c line just about a centimer or two. I was not able to find my electrical tape as soon as I get some more I will add something to protect it even more. I also wanted to post a picture but Photobucket is doing a maintenance on their site. Thanks once again to all of you!!

Would you recommend the JWT or the stillen high flow aribox? I recently purchased the Z Tube and debating on what filter/airbox to get. thanks for the info. I see the only downside of Stillen is the price, but I like the factory look/function of it. THANKS!

Glad I found this thread! My ac line was already taking a beating! I moved the fastener to the top and had some clear rubber tubing that fight right around the ac line. Problem solved!
