i pulled my silencer ring out yesterday and couldnt hear the turbo at all. with it in u can really hear it whisle it sounds like its in the glovebox. thought it was suposed to make the whisle louder without it?

 

it does specialy if you have a air intake

 

mine whistles like hell

 

ya my stock turbo whistled like hell after i pulled the ring when i added the AFE intake is when it really made a differance

 

Sounds like you need a different air intake. I have an aftermarket on mine, and it really screams without that silencer ring. How choked up is your filter? Just an observation also, I hear a lot more screaming out of my turbo below 10psi than at higher boost. Of course that could be due to some rather annoying high freq. hearing loss I have...

 

the filter is clean. it completly took the whisle away when i took the ring out. no matter much or little boost there was no whistle without it. with the ring its louder than hell

 

sorry to say it but you have an f-ed up turbo then

 

^Yep something is definitely messed up.

 

What kind of boost are you seeing?
