I'm new to these forums and have heard about removing the silencer ring what will it gain or loose and how would I go about doing it?

 

you most likely wont gain any hp or more boost but it will make your turbo a lot louder in the cab. to do this, you have to remove a snap ring inside your turbo housing. a really small flat tip works good, and wonce the snap ring is off, the silencer ring slides right out.
i like it out because you can really listen to your turbo.

 

He is correct its so u can hear your turbo more and you can also put a cone air filter on to hear it even more

 

Ok is it on the intake side of the turbo?

 

Yes its on the intake side, just undo the boot and you will see the ring and snap rings holding it in mine was out before I bought my truck

 

Thanks guys turns out mine was already taken out too

 

Absolutely no power gain whatsoever, just noise difference. I did as stated before, put on a spectra cone filter, only problem is with that, living in the country, I have to buy a new one every month or so. But it allows a pretty quick turbo spool.

 

yep if you get a bigger filter (BHAF or aftermarket) whistle will be very noticable. No noticable power increase on a stocker.
