BorgWarner S300 turbo

[hesutton]

So it took you 1 day to put a turbo that was never intended to be used with an IDI on an IDI and it appears to be working good?

X 2. That was really fast. Seriously. Need some photos too please.

Well guys the whistle is unbearable for my 30min commute. I can tollerate about 5minutes before I get a headache. My brother is in proccess of taking it off for me. Here's one last video on the way over there. Turbo will be for sale. Il try to get some pics when I find time.

Like I said, does it have a downpipe of any sort on it?

when i watched the first vid the whistle sounded like regular turbo whistle when at idle and right above idle. once the rpms got up it sounded more like a hissing rather than a whistle.


X2 on what was on there for exhaust.

 

[lil smokey]

I was running the down pipe only.

Put Therese of your exhaust on and maybe a muffler. Tharp really cut down on the whistle

Yes!

Do as Chris said. don't jsut scrap your build just b/c you did not put the rest of the exhaust on. if you still want the whistle i am sure you will get plenty with a 4" system even with a muffler and it will then sound much better. you won't just have turbo whistle. you will get some growl as well. then the sound will be exiting behind you rather than right under your feet.

I think the upper rpm whistle would sound much better if it had some growl mixxed in with it.

for no exhaust you sure dont hear the engine at all, I know when I turboed mine I had no exhaust and it whistled like crazy but you could still hear the engine

An exhaust would help for sure. I would go a straight through muffler so you don't lose exhaust flow though. And it still would sound good like that too!

I will gladly take that off your hands.....I will even be a nice guy and pay shipping

Sounds like open exhaust and intake on there. No need to scrap what could be a good system because you haven't finished it yet.

 

[Black dawg]

a 6.0 guy whining about too much turbo whistle???

 

['94IDITurbo7.3]

Yes. in its current configuration it is just annoying when the rpms are high. ******* the ears. like has been allready said, try it with an exhaust system before you scrap the thing.

Good work none the less though!

Is it just me or does that sound very similar to a "turbo keychain".....?
