lol, ill answer this before it gets locked. Well i guess it whistles or sounds louder usually when the turbo is smaller, it will make more noise quicker if it is smaller because it takes less exhuast to spin it. Hope that answers it for ya. usaully when you hear that, its on stock cars like srt4s or some sort becuase they have TINY turbos

my 18g was pretty loud at 10psi, really whistled. if you look at something bigger though like a t-3/t-4 E trim they have more of a sucking noise. although from the videos i have heard the monster gt42r seems to whistle really loud, but then again that is under lots and lots of boost.

i have a T3 60 trim on my z6 and its real loud spooling... i don't have a filter on there, thats probably part of it. seriously though, your turbo will sound awesome. don't worry about it. don't ask people how to make it sound better. its there to go fast, not sound cool.

you dont run a filter so do you have mesh on there or nothing at all? You should get a video of your car doesn't have to be like just one run on the interstate or a highway

it was an 18g. at 10psi it went 13.6 at 99.6 mph, if i could have increased my 2 step i could have went maybe a 10th or 2 faster.

i have some video of my car. not that great but its something
