gtx2863R whistling

hi
I just installed my brand new gtx2863r and what's different from my previous T3/T4 turbo is the whistling sound the turbo makes.

is it normal ?

Did you happen to drive by attractive women? A wolf whistling turbo would pull a premium one week before Race Wars.

Yes. Due to the anti-surge ported shroud compressor cover

Re: gtx2863R whistling

Not that piece of **** housing in the 2nd picture.

This is a real port-shroud anti-surge housing.

This is what your housing looks like, right, alperx?

The map-width enhancement groove of the housing is what's causing your whistling.

Full explanation is found here.

Anti surge turbos whistle/make a high pitched sound above certain pressure ratios. It's perfectly normal

Re: gtx2863R whistling

They really dont start to sing until 20+ psi

I drove a big diesel box truck with an s400g with a ported shroud that ran 40-45psi... sounded so sexy

Re: gtx2863R whistling

I understand the difference, I was just merely showing a couple examples. It is easily searched that the drilled shroud isn't in the same ball park... anyways, I only use Garrett's to begin with. Starting to get the bitter bug of old age are we? Haha!

You know you're old when you open your cabinet and the first thing you see is your Metamucil.

No, you know you are old when you reach for the cabinet that has your Metamucil and instead have to turn and hurry off to the restroom.
