Should I be hearing?

[green73]

Should I be hearing my turbo spool? How loud should it be? I know it's building boost. My aftermarket guage is showing positive pressure. I just can't hear it. Maybe I am used to hearing my Cummins turbo and am just missing it.

You won't hear it much at all with the stock intake ducting.. Only time I really heard mine was with a cone filter with a 90 degree elbow to the turbo and an exhaust cutout on the downpipe. The stock turbo would be pretty loud then but even then it wasn't even close to a stock turbo buick in terms of spool sound

Same here. Got rid of the stock intake ducting and now I can hear it breathe.

x3

always thought i would get that nice loud turbo whistle but she was quiet as a mouse with the stock intake. even the blow-off was quiet with the stock stuff. took it off and got a nice PFFFFFFFF. the 20g's blow-off is loud as F#$%.

You can hear it really good if you are outside of the truck when it buzzes by.

Thanks. I was starting to get paranoid. Like I stated I am used to the whine of the turbo on my Dodge.
