Honestly mate, i'm 99.9999% certain it's what all mapped GTI/ED30's do. If it sounds like a deep toned whistle then it's just the turbo, as it's running more boost and at lower revs it's under more load..
You won't be the first and certainly not the last to initially worry about it mate  . I was exactly the same when I first heard it on my LCR..
I'll see if I can find any vids with it. Rolling roads are normally the best for hearing it..

P.S. I would probably be inclined to get the DP and sports cat first mate, then the cat back. But all depends whether you want performance or noise more?

Here's one for now.. Not the best, but if you turn the volume up and listen to the noise at 3-4 secs, you can hear it there..

Thats exactly what noise its making. Thanks for that ben.
I want the noise first then i'll put the downpipe on later. Im on a tunnel run in london in november so should have the full system by then

Ben, you doing anything on sunday?
Im down at pod for the bmw show, can get mine on the minitorque.com stand, might be able to get yours on aswell. There will be some serious minis and bmw's there. The 400bhp+turbo track cooper s is going to be there  .

It's not that, she's meant to be going down to see her folks this weekend, but has been ill this week but is perking up a bit now. So looks like I should get the green light..  Rather than an ear bashing for leaving her in bed ill.. lol

Both my ED30 on APR and the S3 on Revo made this noise. I had Jim at awesome check the ED30 when it started making the noise and he found nothing wrong

Thanks gaz, glad thats all cleared up.
Going to go n thrash the sh*t out of it now
May even try the more agressive boost map that revo set for me on the select plus switch
