O.K. don't know much about CTD's what's the deal with the silencer ring I see in peoples sigs?

 

Harmonic sound suppresion ring found inside the turbo intake. No big deal. Can remove easily for more turbo whistle. Does no harm to remove and makes no difference in performance.

 

it will sound alot better without it. plus no damage

 

If u remove it

go ahead and pull the sleeve from the airbox that connects to the passenger side fender, and you will really hear your turbo whistle..

PS i agree with cody

O.K. Thanks I think I'll just leave alone if it doesn't make any performance gains.

 

no performance gains or losses but it sounds soo much better. u can hear ur turbo whistle. its like night and day diff. i would highly recommend the removal. it might be just me but i love to hear the turbo whistling

 

Ok Guy's where and how do I remove these parts,I love that turbo whistle........

 

Hey 65,How much gain did you realize with the bigger Turbo Housing?

 

No performance gain that I realized just lower EGT's

 

Ok

the silencer ring is that tin lookin thing in the turbo itself. To get to it, simply remove your filter cover completely with the hose that connects to the turbo, You will see a little clamp holdin the actual tin ring infront of the turbo, with a pair of good screwdrivers and some persuasion you will be able to pop out the clamp and pull the ring out.. OR if you are impatient, you can rip out the tin ring with some vice grips as i had to once, the turbo somehow got rusty vanes even on the cold side, and the clamp was rusted in..

Now that you have the airbox cover off, the rest is simple, you simply look towards the passenger side fender and just rip out the sleeve that connects the airbox to the passenger side fender and ur good to go....

Puter back together and enjoy ur newfound whistle..

One more question while we are in this area.Is there any way to modify the stock air box for more aire flow?I should have spent the money on an aftermarket setup instead of just buying the K&n filter...Thanks for the info.....

 

I took the airbox to fender sleeve out and I noticed no difference at all in turbo sound. I'll have to put it back in this weekend. It was worth a shot.

 

I just took the ring out from in front of the turbo and removed the sleave and the sound is much better under boost,I just love forced induction.Hope I won't need the ring in the future I got mangled in the process.....
