more turbo whistle?
Don't take this question too seriously! (More of a theoretical quest.) I have a 93 12v with a he351ve , 4" str. pipe exh. It does whistle with the actuator closed but shuts up when I open it. I love the whistle like a early 6.0. I know it has to do with number of turbine blades (he351 has 12, early 6.0 has 9) Would there be, in theory, a way to modify the turbine wheel to get more whistle? I would obviousy never attempt this on my own due to balance and performance issues, just curious if any turbo guru's had any thoughts.

Oops, forgot to mention I have a 4" homeade intake with an Amsoil filter and removed silencer so it howls pretty good under the hood but I like the exahaust whistle. I know the only way to get the 6.0 whistle is to have a 9 or 10 blade turbine made and I don't think that's gonna happen! If a reputable turbo shop did say a 5 or 10 deg. clip on every other blade it might work but I'm not about to ruin a good turbo for sound, that's why this wasn't a real serious question, just curious small talk
ps: The vgt doesn't use a snapring for the silencer, there's 3 pins you have to drill and punch out

I thought the same thing, if you could somehow t-3 the exh housing

yup, I know but I'd kick my own as if I replaced my 5.9 with the 6.0! I did like my 01 7.3 though. The whistle has nothin to do with the motor though, it's all turbo. I know I could buy a diff. turbo that would whistle more but I like the vgt (runs cool, very quick boost, and exh brake). Like I said, just makin barstool talk, but I appreciate the comebacks.
