JWT Pop charger for 2k2..

I got bored and decided to add the JWT Pop charger on my 2k2 maxima SE. It was on my 2000 GLE and it worked perfect. Well today I installed it and it sounds like it has an air leak or something. I checked and I don't find nothing! Could it be that the pop charger maybe was made only to work with a 3.0 liter engine and NOT the 3.5? Maybe the 3.5 sucks to much air or something? I don't know...Someone HELP me!! I am tired of hearing this squeek sound when I accelerate fast or slow.

Does it sound like a hissing sound when you give it a little gas? If so, that's normal. It's just sucking in air.

It sounds more of a squeek sound than a hiss sound. It just doesn't sound right. When I had it on the '00 gle it didn't make that sound. Now my car sounds like a squeeky toy when I accelerate.

Switch over to FrankenCar Intake. Very loud and easy to install.

Yeah...I should do that. I re-oiled and cleaned it out and still the same squeeky crap. I should just change intakes.
