The TBS I installed years ago had an o-ring on one side and extended bolts, is that what yours came with? That's been on my G for so long I almost forget it's there. I did enjoy the extra throttle response I got when it was installed....I've spent worse $$....

If it sounds almost like a turbo blow off valve, or brief sucking noise/whistle, then it's normal with the cold air intake. Mine did that after putting on the stillen intake. If you have a vacuum leak, then the car would run like crap.
