Hi Guys,
I have been noticing more and more lately what sounds like a howler monkey or Casper the moaning Ghost coming from the drivers side of my engine usually under moderate to aggressive driving.
I just installed a K&N cold air intake last night and it's even more prevalent.

2015 PP 62000 miles.....Help?

Mine made a weird sound like that when the noisemaker was leaking, it was a very strange groaning boost leak. Your sound being on the drivers side, maybe its in the intake piping. The electric blow off valve things got a o ring under them also that i heard go bad around that mileage.
Maybe the boost control vaccum hose that dont come clamped from factory. I had that come off and it groaned too

UPDATE:
After suffering through the last 4 weeks listening to that howling turbo I finally got the chance to get it up on a lift.Turns out that the waste gate was stuck open on the rear turbo. There is a really cheap clip holding the actuator in place that failed. I modified an E clip to replace it.
