i dont know that it restricts it so much as it quiets it down. taking it out will increase turbo noise

 

i merged all 3 of your threads into 1 since they were exactly the same.....

 

The silencer ring is a something that the engineers put in front of the turbo to decrease the turbo whistle. Having it on or taking it off has no affect on the performance of your turbo. Someone else might back me up here but I believe that it has no affect on your warranty either. So if you want to hear that sweet turbo whistle take off the silence ring. If you really want to hear if you prolly going to have to put on an aftermarket intake. AFE AEM S&B K&N something like that. Hope this helps.

 

It does absolutely nothing at all except quiet down your turbo. It doesnt affect performance one bit... Most people just like to hear their turbo scream when they stuff the throttle. Its simple enough to remove, the only thing holding it in is a big snap ring.

 

Make it whistle

 

Remove it it is just a muffler to make all the hippies and goverment happy and get a after market intake that doesnt use the stock intake elbow with the baffles. the easyiest way to get it out is use 2 pocket screw drivers and pop it out.

 

It doesn't actually make the whistle outside the cab any louder, the in cab noise is definitely there...so, the aforementioned hippies that might get pissed shouldn't...until you see them walking on the shoulder of the road and smoke 'em out !
