Turbo Question
Looking into replacing my Turbo in the near future. I am doing preliminary research on it. I have been looking at a few including this one:
Garrett PowerMax GT3788VA Turbo Kit
Anyone had any experience with this product?
I want a good strong whistle like the 03 Turbo's have as well. What is it that gives them that whistle?? I remember it being something like the number of Vanes or the like. Is it less number of vanes the louder whistle? Or is it vice-versa?
Cheers,

What year is your truck....How does the turbo sound with your exhaust??
Also did you need any additional parts to install this one?

My truck is an 06, I run an MBRP turbo back exhaust with cat delete. Some say you need a tune some say not. Im tuned but I have other mods as well.

Gene, do you still have a muffler? Removing the muffler will give you a whistle.

I do not have a muffler. I have a whistle with my stock one. I have just heard louder whistles, lol.

The tunes seem to make the tone of the truck more aggressive as well.

You will probably end up wanting to put your muffler back on once you hear the whistle of the Powermax, lol.
