My T3 48/60 is pretty damn quiet. All you really hear is the BOV.

You must be running an air filter. I'm not even running the BBK filter. It's just "open". lol 8)

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
now who here is running open dp? If you are running a total factory turbo with factory o2 sensore then you will most likely not hear that whistle. I've heard it plenty of times driving 1 ton dodge rams.. but with cars it's a diff story.

Exhaust is everything here, look into it guys.

I could always here my turbo spooling down on the freeway with my Apexi N1 exhaust, it was very annoying.

Stock exhaust 4 life :)

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
I love the sound of the whistle building up then the bov after......pshhhhhhhhhht. It's like music to my ears :P.

bambooseven 07-28-2004 02:56 AM

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
all you can hear is the turbo spooling on my car, I have a greddy SP1 exhaust which is quiet as ----. I love it.

BTW rener's super 60 sounds ------- HOT

bumblezc 07-28-2004 07:55 PM

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
Mine sound like a hoover vacuum hiped on on a ton of steriods! The my BOV sounds like 100 tires being slashed!!!

Get looks and the tires peelin'!

Re:whose turbo whistles?

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
Mine whistles like a mofo, at idle that is...2.5 straight pipe, with..well nothing but pipe ;D

J-SMITH69 07-28-2004 10:53 PM

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
lol my turbo overpowers my exhaust all the time. i can barely hear my exhaust when im cruising or accelerating at like 1/16th throttle

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
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.

Re:whose turbo whistles?
 
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. :)
