Yeah Johnny, your T3 just sounded wierd to me. But it does sound good. Has a nice spool up noise

When my SC61 finally decides to spool, my car sounds like a ------- jet. Now that its been on 15psi for a few days, I can hear it over everything regardless of speed/wind noise.

Definitely not if you want the turbo to last. I mean hell, running without an air filter on a street car is plain stupid.
It only takes one tiny rock for example to totally destroy a turbocharger beyond repair, and small particles in the air can eat the compressor wheel pretty quickly.

mine whistles half throttle like a huge semi truck all the way down the freeway, i get old people staring at me like "wtf is wrong with his car" then at wot my ---- screamz like it wants to blow up then a nice tshhh from the 1st gen bov. love being boosted in a "not supposed to be" boosted car. makes people lick my ballz with massive questions. i'm also running it "open" with no filter and its been fine for couple of weeks now. i was thinkin bout puttin a screen or something but im to lazy...

My car sounds awesome when I am running open downpipe. Hmm maybe I will go take my exhaust off today.
