took it a while back, figured id post. camera doesnt do justice for the turbo whistle but that's always the case. i didnt bother editing so you get to listen to me climb in and out of the truck. i have to say i'm jealous of the turbo on my brothers idi though. those ball-bearing turbos have that slow wind-down after you shut the truck off that's just awsome.

his is an aurora 2k, which if i'm not mistaken is a ball bearing turbo. all i know is you can turn it off and can still hear it spooling down a little after you get out of the truck. he does have stacks, but i dont think that'd affect the duration of the spool-down. when i get a bigger comp wheel on mine i'm gonna replace the sleeves and clean the turbine wheel. maybe that'll help.


and no, mine just has the factory exhaust housing/elbow and a 3" downpipe from banks

No Video. All I get is my picture from Facebook and make a comment. Wierd.

That turbo winding down after shut down, has no oil pressure to the bearings, not good I think. Had a Detroit Diesel with a turbo and rigged an after shut down oiler on it to keep the bearings from coking up.

Power wise at the tires? Or crank? With 410 gears and 38/15.5 wide tires I can chirp them on dry pavement. (try not to at 550$ per tire) but I have wastegate set to 12psi

I absolutely love your guys whistle. Are they factory turbos or aftermarket? I have a first gen banks and you really have to listen for any whistle.
