Turbo question?

With the new tymar intake on way I was curious if anybody knows what actually make the turbo "whistle". Is it the intake or the exhaust side of the turbo? Just wonderin?

Both. The intake helps get air in, and a bigger exhaust gets it out with less restriction.

Ok let me clarify. I know the less restriction on both side makes more sound but what actually is making the whistling noise?

If you've got an intake and a straight piped exhaust - they both do! I get a cool turbo whirring noise out the exhaust at low rpm and then up farther the intake starts singing under the hood!
