    Snorkel and Turbo Whistle Sound?

    Ever since I installed the ebay Snorkel (No name brand)

    Only pretty much full boost I get a turbo whistle sound coming from the snorkel.

    Not the typical induction whoosh noise but Turbo whistle.

    Is that normal? It sounds good lol.

    At first I thought I had a leaky Turbo manifold but the passenger can hear it from the snorkel.

    Love a good turbo whistle!
    Missus once actually asked me why passenger side door trims are always dusty. Because the windows on that side , are almost always cracked open to hear the wind up!!
    You wanna hear @mudski 's whistle after he starts the car, as it slowly spools it's self up to idle. It's really something...
