    whistling Turbo

    the turbo running at 20 psi...tends to whistle when its whining up...the person who increased boost says thats normal due to the fact its running freer....any one with an opinion on that?...Cheers Eric (xcape08)

    It's just the design of the turbo.
    How does it go ok?
