Turbo Sound

My question is this, when under load ( going up a hill, small #tow or WOT) my turbo makes that woosh sound when shifting into a taller gear. I noticed this when I put on my #6637 Air Filter. I can hear new things now and looking up the "woosh" sound on search option was funny thought but I thought I would ask first. My truck is stock minus the air filter and straight pipe. Thank in advance, I am a student in training with this stuff.

Sounds like you are describing the excess boost being bled off as the engine RPM comes down. It always did this we just cant hear it in stock form.

Does a boost fooler help on a stock set up? I know the boost does not go that high with the stock PCM programming but was wondering if there were any benefits to install this before the chip.

Don,

I too noticed the "Whoosh" sound after I installed the 6637 Air Filter Mod. I could not hear the sound with my stock airbox. only after the mod. No apparent problem that I have noticed.

The only benefit is that you will not have to buy one after you get your chip.
