See I'm having droaning sounds coming through every time the wheel turn to the right at motorways speeds is or even at say 30mph seems more louder at the wheel is turned more. The drone sounds seems to fade in and out soon as the wheel straigtens it either lessens or turn left goes away. Don't know if it a wheel bearing or some kinds of control arm. looked underneath and nothing seems out of place, wheel bearings have no play at and on turning wheel can hear anything, maybe noise coming only when under loads i.e. speed of weight???
Mechanic has said keeps driving until a fault becomes more pronounced as other wise I would just throwing parts at it.
I have noticed that I hear like a rubbing noise inside cabin when turning the wheel slowly, sure if its like a some kind of control arms making that noise.
Any ideas?
Haha yeh would be an expensive thing to smash up. Air ride is on the cards just house comes before the car atmNot by my decision may i add!
And yes I did have a video on youtube but the go pro didnt pick up the deep tone very well atal so will do another one at some point and post it up.
Anyway gave it a clean today and hoon about in the nice weather.

Looking super mate! Would like to hear a sound bite of this if you ever had the time. Im going 3' Downpipe De-cat, no middle resonator and slim back boxes. Heard some pretty awesome 1.8ts with a similar set up.
Kinda excited your going the hybrid turbo route. Are you going to keep the internals stock?
Dan.
Got it back from paint shop and removed old interior , just go to find a decent carpet and then new interior back in.
Dan, can you list the part numbers for the covers if they are correct?
Here is a small video of the exhaust (Y) Yes sticking with stock internals as im not going for mega power just a nice solid safe 230ish is the aim which from reading up is perfectly doable
