TURBO: The Sound

[kineticSpicyMSP]

Ok, I have had my MSP for a couple of months, but I just recently have decided to mod it. I started with the "best bang for the buck" on the parts thread.. But the next thing I want is for my turbo to SOUND GOOD, I LOVE the sound of the turbo.. What Do I Need to Do?? Please help.. any insight will be appreciated. Also I live about half way between Dallas and OKC, I am looking for other MSP peeps in my area!

umm a cold air intake will change the sound, make it more obvious that you have a turbo.
you can also change your bpv to a blow off valve....

any open filter will make the turbo spooling sound louder, just be careful where you place it or you will lose power.

Hard I/C pipes make a huge difference as well in sound.

hard i/c pipes = more or less sound, and what's the difference in sound characteristic ?

I am not sure what you are saying.. rephrase plese

BPV? LOUDER

TURBO SPOOL? LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Metal resonates............ If you thought the stock turkey was cool, wait til you hear the flock of turkeys under the hood now.

Sorry for all the Technical Turkey Talk.

MSPDave125 got it - just wanted to know how the sound characteristics changed with the metal vs. plastic piping. Which is louder, and is the sound higher, lower, or what? More or less whistle, etc.

He pretty well got it, I think. "Louder" seems to be the word of the day. Wonder about insulating them to keep the intake charge cooler thought....

yeah thats y all the stock stuff is plastica nd restrictive cause it will absorb sound and such. everything mentioned here will really open up that turkery..errr i mean engine sound!!

Screw the filter and so, get an manual boost controller. Its all my cousin's MSP has and it brought the car from above average to holy crap Batman!!! SRT killer*. Hehehe.

Anyways, should try an come down to Dallas this Saturday, we are all meeting at the Car Toys car show, the 13th at 10:00am







*maybe to a contender...

 

[DevilsSi1481]

wow cool that much of a difference, thats awesome!

 

[kineticSpicyMSP]

I have ordered the Joe P MBC, but have not installed it yet. Which sounds go with which part. Turkey=. . . . . Jet Sound=. . . . Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it.

Where is this Car Toys Car show??

 

[Pirana]

Turkey with HKS SSQ, and jet with MBC. I got mine for $25

 

[kineticSpicyMSP]

which one did u get for $25? how much was the HKS and is it a BOV?

 

[Pirana]

Sorry for the lack of information. My car, a P5, has a HKS SSQ BOV, my cousin's MSP has the Pirana MBC.

 

[DevilsSi1481]

the turkey sound comes from the wastegate not the stock bypass valve/BOV.

What the hell are you talking about?

You MAY experirence some compressor "wobble" or even a little "surge" because our OEM BPV is weak. They both sound like a turkey when you are off throttle. But the only noise a waste will EVER make is a pop when it hits it's limit and the spring inside releases.

Please explain your theory.

If you really want to hear the turbo go with a 3" pipe off the turbo. Also the hard I/C pipes make a big difference.

FYI- Any mods that you do will increase the amount of sound your car produces. (i.e. big exhaust, FMIC, CAI etc)
