what is the easiest way to take off the silencer ring on my stock turbo?

 

2 screwdrivers

 

but is there any clamps or anything holding it on

 

its just a large snap ring so use the first screwdriver to get the end of it lifted up then slide the second under the end and flip it out

 

ok thanks for the help

 

no problem

 

im still having problems with geting my silencer ring off, i cant get my screwdriver under the little clamp right in front of the ring so i cant it off....any sugestions??

 

First of all, it really has more intended use than a silencing ring. It's actually there to reduce turbulence entering the compressor.
If your determined to take it out, hold one end of the snap ring solid and use a 90 deg. Pick to pop the other side up. It can be a pain. Make sure to vacuum up any small shavings created from the removal

 

ok well do you recomend even taking it off? will it affect my boost pressure? and how much louder would it make my truck?

 

It won't effect power or boost enough to notice, will make the charger sound a touch louder even more so with a decent intake....
If I wanted my turbo louder I would install supporting mods and a bigger charger but that's me.
