Do you have a stock intake or aftermarket?

a boost leak will give you a loud whistle depending where it is

an intake on a stock turbo will also make it louder

Does it spool when u floor the gas? Mines semms loud when u floor the gas also. But I think it's the intake that makes it louder I'm guessing.

I had tons of boost leaks when I first got my Evo, it was more of a woooosh sound that a whistle. All of my leaks are sealed up now and the turbo spool sounds awesome (I have a buschur intake pipe) and it sounds so much healthier than when I first got the car.
