Kwik Filter Turbo Sound

What type of sound should I expect to hear after installing the kwik filter and doing the ccv mod? I am not sure what the sound of the turbo spooling up should sound like. Any help appreciated.

spooling up- it will make a large sucking/hissing noise. its the sound of air being sucked in. you will get a nice whistle and whining noise when the turbo is working. letting off of the throttle will give you a nice WOOSH sound like Darth Vader. dont be alarmed, you'll come to love them.

Thanks, I just finish the two mods this evening and will try it out tomorrow. Let you know what I hear. It really didn't sound much like the whistle until I got into the pedal pretty good in park. Not sure what to expect but will keep informed.

the turbo won't spool without a load on it.
