I just put my z-tube and JWT popcharger (and lovin' the sound) but when I accelerate slowly I hear a high pitched hissing sound coming from the car. Now I heard it a tiny bit before I put the intake stuff on but now that it is on it seems to be a whole lot louder. Just making sure that the sound is normal.

And also I have a strange smell coming from it when I hit the gas hard. But I am just guessing that that smell is from the brand new ztube and popcharger. I am just wanting to make sure all of this is normal or I need to fix something with it. Thanks.

 

The noise, which you hear is normal. However, I am not so sure about the smell. Did you add more oil to the filter?

 

no i didnt add anything to the filter at all. I just put it in and went on my way. Was I supposed to put oil in it???

 

No the filter should come pre-oiled. I was just wondering if you might have over oiled it. Well, if everything is tight and secure . . . You should be good to go.

 

well thats good to know, am I going to need to oil it up later after I use it for a while or not?

 

You need to oil it after every cleaning otherwise no oiling required.

 

^^^ Yeah, what he said.

 

well thats good to know, about how often should I clean it? I know it sounds like a newb question

 

You can clean the filter as often as you would like. Just do a viusal inspection. It all depends on where you are driving, as well. Remember to apply the oil lightly, as to not to over oil the filter element.

 

is there a good type of oil to use on it?
