Is there really any benefit of taking out my silencer ring? I took it out of my old turbo about two days before it went out and i could not tell a difference at all. Maybe it was because the turbo was bad? Anyways i want to take it out if it won't hurt it at all and if there is a benefit to it other than it supposed to sound different. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

 

Makes the whistle louder is all.

 

Just louder whistle

 

thats what i thought but i have heard some people say they have had a little bit better mpg. do i need to worry about any damage?

 

Its not going to damage anything. All it was made to do was "Silence" the Turbo. If someone told you that got better mileage then there wrong.

 

Thanks for the input i will be taking it off then and see if it makes a difference.

 

The only difference I notice is the whistle is louder. I love the whistle but some people put the ring back on because they don't like that much whistle.

 

Ok so i tried to take it out but it was like it was stuck you guys got any pointers on how to get it out? My last one just popped right out it only took bout five minutes, i just could not get the snap ring out any pointers would be appreiated thanks

 

need two little screwdrivers some are a little harder to get out...

You can also gut your torque tube (intake hose that runs from the turbo to air box) there is like a cross section baffle in there and that will make it whistle louder

 

Took it out and also gutted the tube and i really can't tell much of a diff. maybe because of the drone of the exhaust?
