like to the above comments :)

if its still the v-belts tight ten charger belts to correct tension and use belt grip spray grease stuff of get a set of teethed pullies and belt but this reduces service life

Most folk want a nice quiet charger mate. Get rid of the standard filter and fit a cone filter. Eventually you'll throw away your pointless sound system which you won't  be able to hear and you and your mates will have to learn sign language, but it will make the noise you want.
You'll probably need to get your charger serviced more often as most cone filters aren't as good at filtering the air as the standard paper filter.

Are you sure about that? I thought they had a bigger inlet.

the r1 charger has an enlarged casing inlet, which matches the collar of the induction kit.

It'll fit a normal charger but just wont be port matched.

Title: Re: g40 charger noise need help
Post by: PeteG40 on May 31, 2012, 06:33:36 AM
not at all, just take in less air than ti would if it was.
Title: Re: g40 charger noise need help
Post by: stevie-doh on May 31, 2012, 11:08:12 PM
would it lose any power this way not takin in as much air not bein port matched or would i be better to stick to standard air filter
Title: Re: g40 charger noise need help
Post by: grayg40 on June 01, 2012, 12:23:01 PM
no power loss.
Title: Re: g40 charger noise need help
Post by: Justin14100 on June 01, 2012, 01:12:44 PM
if anything you'd still get a power gain
