When everyday driving with hardly any acceleration the turbo would whistle like a truck everytime once it hit 2500rpm, the XR doesn't whistle unless you boot it to the max.Is there a difference in the type of turbo that causes the whistle? or is it prevented by the intake setup and exhaust on the XR?Can I give you some advice?Go talk to your tuner. Anyone of the sponsers here will help.Coz the answer you need is certainly not in this thread.

So, obviously when your cruising, you don't get the noise, but slight acceleration will induce it. These things accelerate so quick, so you're unlikely going to be able to enjoy the noise for great periods of time, unless you're running the quarter or something...

But when you add a big air intake and still have the standard exhaust you will really be able to hear it.
