Alright so i finally seemed to wedge that fucking piece of carbon fiber in the engine bay, had to do diff way than the instructions, but anyways enough with the complaining. I'll go ahead and list what Im already running with, that way you'll have a better idea of how im generating this specific noise. Ive got APR stage 2 chip, APR testpipe, 034 Motorsports Silicone Inlet tube, the revised diverter valve and a Carbonio intake. AS for the OEM ram air tunnel, i took the snow guard out (the screen lodged in there) and i also dremmeled out the grille looking piece of the ram tunnel that lets the air into the tunnel from the car's gril (if that made sense at all) Its now just one big rectangular hole. So i took it on test drive at 1 AM so it was super quiet out. I was sticking in second gear pulling and generating enough boost then letting go to hear it release. As i was slowly accelerating to build boost, i could hear a swirling of air coming into the intake (almost like when u hear a turbo diesel trucks turbo making that swirling noise from its turbo) Then as i heard the air coming in would let go the acc. and it woosh louder than before. I think the best sound is when ur building boost in the low rpm range. anyways im kinda drunk and am passing out, see yall later, oh yea and i did feel a steadier pull of power through power band

Well now, we cant all just be seasoned turbo vets now can we? It probably answered more questions people had but were too timid to ask for fear of the above quote. Boone, lets keep that woosh coming. Post some sound clips if you can. If I was going to drop 300 bucks on a piece of gear (mostly for sound) Id like to know every little moan and groan it makes.

Lots of videos on it.

I would only get it for the aesthetic of it, turbo is already pretty loud and don't feel like I'm fast enough to be making a bunch of woos sounds.

Exhaust is not just for sound. So your logic is also "teh bad" =)
