Hi all
asking onbehalf of a friend, What do you do to make the Turbo whistle louder on accleration on a 200tdi Disco,
is there a bit of kit or a tweek
cheersRob
-
Straight through pipe like on mine.
Turbo spins up quicker too for better performance.

i'll pass that on

Run more boost, remove the air box, bend a couple of fins on the turbo. If you don't want the engine to blow up then you can get whistlers for your exhaust on e-bay.
Alternatively you could clean the turbo out (actually worth doing).
-
How do you clean the turbo out? Managed to do the intercooler on mine, is it harder?
-
I filled the bottom of the comnpressor housing with WD40 and used a toothbrush to clean the oikly gunk off the vanes 'till I could see shiny metal in there, then I soak up the poo with a rag and let it dry out. Since doing it the car did seem a tiny bit better to drive but the turbo was noisier at full boost (it's tweaked). I recon the extra weight of the crud makes it harder for the turbo to spin up and makes the vanes less efficient hence less boost.
But it does whistle a bit.
