Hey guys, new Ralliart owner here. Never had a turbo or performance car before (so I'm kinda ashamed to call myself a lifelong car enthusiast) - I've only ever been a passenger in one, or heard it via videos posted online, etc.

I love the sound of the turbo whistle. In heavily modded cars running high boost, it's more pronounced. However in a stock Lancer Ralliart running ~0.9 bar give or take, there's not alot going on and it gets drowned out easily by the radio.

So my question, how do I get more of that sweet turbo whistle that I crave? Sound I be looking at induction or exhaust mods? I thank you for your input.

 

Just wait for the turbocharger to lose a tiny bit off a blade somewhere and go out of balance! Then it'll whistle/whine heaps.

Well, that's what happened to me...

Bolt ons

 

Un plug the bov recirculating hose. Sure, it will screw up the engine but it will sound really cool doing it.

 

Drop in air filter

 

intake

 

Minus the stock intake air box, plus an intake. Get tuned. Enjoy.

 

Buy an aftermaket BOV for even better noise!

 

Thanks for all your replies. I must fight the urge to go crazy with mods - my original goal was to create a sleeper. My insurance company states all mods are covered, as long as they're legal. So that's good news... On the other hand, I'm already thinking about so many possibilities and I haven't even began making payment 1 to the finance company for the car yet!

Evo X turbo, IC and piping; spray paint the intercooler black to hide it and maybe change the bonnet (hood) to a standard Lancer model's one without the vents.

 

i wouldn't change the hood to the non-vented type. If you ever have to drive in stop and go traffic, the heat soak under the hood will translate into a hotter passenger compartment...

 

Dont paint the intercooler. It will make the intercooler less effective in cooling the air.

 

I painted mine

 

Why would you want to hide your intercooler? A intake will give you the noise you want. A loud exhaust will drown it.
