Axys sidekick whistle at very minimal throttle

DieselFreak · Jan 14, 2017

I got a problem with a whistle, not a spooling whistle, at very low rpms and really crappy performance. Studders, blubbers and only pulls 7500rpm! I just got a new BD air box and that did not fix it either. I've went over every fitting, clamp, mating surface and have come up with nothing wrong! Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Not as familiar with the boondockers setup but if you've already checked everything for leaks sounds like you are working down the right path. Try spraying some soapy water in different suspect issues for a leaky seal?

I had the exact same symptoms. Turns out my turbo was destroyed from ice getting sucked into it. Pull the intake tube off and look at your wheel

Thats what i was gonna say, I also lost my turbo and it was acting similar. Mine wouldn't rev over 5300 though.

Dang, that's not what I wanted hear but at least gives me somewhere to start looking now. Thanks for the info guys!

Boondocker has never heard of this problem but they will sell you a new center section

So I'm assuming you have the intake that you cut the plastic intake box and it's all exposed on the front?? And I'm very intrigued to see what my wheel looks like after seeing yours!
