How to make a turbo sound like this - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

You can insult my supposed intentions and supposed lack of knowledge all you want.

I am not here to measure épéen

For those that replied constructively, thank you. I have been in and owned many a turbocharged vehicle but none have sounded like this. Just wanted to pinpoint the difference. I see it is ball bearing Garett turbo that produces the high pitched jet engine whine. Inlet pipe may have an influence too. Just youtubed GT3076r and almost all of those have the same noise. Neat.

Oh and of course stay away from dump tubes. You won't hear anything other than exhaust

the anti-surge (small port holes on the inlet) compressor covers tend to exaggerate the sound btw

You want to lower the compression on the block, run high boost with metal induction tubes and a quiet exhaust. Not too hard really, just expensive! That car has a built gearbox too I think. My STI sounded like that with a CAI and tune.

My Evo VIII sounded almost like that.

My Mitsubishi TDO6H-20G-TD05H-10CM2 (aka Super 20G) @ 24psi sounds pretty similar to that, maybe even louder

Love the sound of a Dual BB Garrett...

That's just V-tec kickin in yo..

The 6 blade compressor in the GT3076r has a very nice sound to them. The smaller gt28 doesn't sound as extreme, and the gtx series turbos don't make any real noise at all.

I love the sound of a GT30r!

I was hoping for a duck call BOV video.

I'm disappointed in y'all.
