No Turbo Whistle

[dieseldust]

, Hello Guys and Gals i am out enjoying my Chevy , i like my 95 way better than my 2003 dodge SST truck,i have driven big trucks for a lot of years to many to tell you but i always could hear the old turbo spool up and whistle away, do these 6.5 turbos ever whistle i cant hear mine, it pulls good and all just cant hear the turbo is that normal on the 6.5,s

Cheers
James

Sorry to say, yes they are pretty quiet. Maybe check to see if your turbo is working. Are you still using the vacuum pump?

Do not feel bad, I have yet to this day ever heard my turbo whistle. ):h

After I did my intake, chip, and 4" exhaust my GM-4 turbo whistled like crazy, then I upgraded to the much better ATT and it doesn't whistle near as much, but it seems like the longer I use it the more it whistles; but it could be just me.

Good i thought maybe i was going deaf from to many miles in a old 318 Detroit Kenworth, and yes gerald the vacum pump is still there its all mostly stock, it pulls and goes real good reminds me of a big block chevy lolololo

if you eliminate the soot trap and muffler for "offroad use only" you'll prob hear it alot better. this one has an exhaust and air filter.

Yes i like that sound, nothing like the sound of a turbo spooling up, i have the big exaust on mine, i know i have a muffler but will check into the soot trap thing,

Since I haven't done the mods necessary to really jump up the performance, here's what mine sounds like:h

you'll hear it spool up if you go turbo master.

I can hear mine spool up with the door open and the hood up

mine is almost to loud. I do have a like new GM8 in there too. Alot of maintainance stuff helps too. My lift pump and injectors bought it back to life, and the exhaust was the most crucial. THe larger downpipe im sure. Also a high flow air filter and turbo silencer delete helps.
