Fp red , weird noise ??

So just got the FP Red hooked up, this thing whistles like all the time its crazy sounding it almost doesn't sound right. Kinda got me all worked up, so Just wondering if any one could confirm that this turbo is noisy, even under normal driving.

If you have the 80mm then it is normal. When I swapped housing there was a noticable difference in sound. Now it sounds like a jet fighter or space ship.

the new 80mm housings as loud as your evo whistles with no downpipe connected.. its similar to the gt3076r.... the whistle comes from the anti surge inlet on the compressor housing. Sounds absolutely amazing and turns heads big time.
