Turbo Whistle - Ballbearing Turbos??


Recommended Posts

Hey lads. Quick question for the techies in here.

In the video above at 9mins 25secs onwards…Is that turbo whistle sound produced because the evo is running a ball bearing turbo?

I think I’m having a mid life crisis as I would love my GT to produce such sounds Lol.

 

I asked some of the members on TGTT forum and someone said:

"a few people i know with modified evos have that whistle sound...here's what they have in common -- big ball bearing turbos, short air intakes, short big downpipes/exhausts (3", 4", etc)
from the time they start the car the whistling is there from idle

most ep82/91 turbo whistling noises i've heard are low/mild at best regardless of turbo set up,,,,no where near that of the evos"

Any other thoughts?
