Velos tune users?

Hey y'all

I had a quick question. I had the tune on for about 4 weeks, and then I took it off to go for some repair work, and just put it back on. When I had it on previously, when I would hit the gas I would hear something that sounded like supercharger whine to me...But now I don't hear that anymore. Does anyone else hear this? I can't for the life of me remember if I heard it immediately or after having the tune for a couple days.

Any insight?

I've had the tune for over 6 months and never heard a whine. What repair work was performed? Maybe this was related to the noise going away?

ok good lol

they fixed some leaky hoses in the vacuum system and some stuff with the crankcase valves, so it makes sense it would go away .
