Loudest turbos?
Loudest turbos? So I've heard some imports with turbos that the whine is just so loud its sick, I like my cars to be quite loud (Drive around with cutouts open all the time, etc)
My question is, what is the loudest whining turbo out there? I know most of the kits advertise how quiet they are, which is a turn off for me.

I only have a 3in pipe that is about 4ft long coming out of the turbo. The car is pretty quiet. If I take it off and have no pipe, you hear the turbo all the time, although the exhaust note doesnt sound as good.

LOLEdit: Oh, and I'm also venting dual surge valves to the atmosphere. My friends tell me its loud on the outside, but inside the car, it's quiet.
The bigger the inducer the more sound will inherently be produced, since your compressing larger volumes of air. Stand beside a T101-106 car on the dyno, you will get all you want to hear....lol. Sounds like a Pratt&Whitney is stuffed under the hood....

Only thing you're going to hear at idle is a blower. My car, even if I open up the downpipe, is dead silent at idle.
