Put a C3 style intake on the back of mine, and the idle fluctuates again (100-200 RPM). But, the sound is sure worth it.
As for the squeal, I can hear it VERY clearly with the C3 installed. My only thought is it has something to do with the threshold of engagement (supercharger). If I eeeeaaaase into the throttle while in overdrive, I hear it. If I blip the throttle (from cruising to over 25% throttle) the squeal is nonexistent and the supercharger whine is clear and pronounced.
Again, stock intake cured both of my issues. C3 intake made both issues worse. NW intake allowed me to experience both issues as well.
A very un-scientific answer, but an answer nonetheless.
Unfortunately I did the ASP178 install and NW intake install the same day, so I don't know if the squeal was there before, but I agree that if you blip the throttle it's not there.
