Yes i recently installed a RED 80mm with anti surge housing and get a "whistling" sound as the turbo spools up. It sounds like a normal turbo spool up one of the local guys around here says the turbos bad and i should bring it by his shop to have it looked at an rebuilt. Has anyone encountered this and if so is it normal i think the guys just trying to bilk me for money

 

Its normal. The anti surge howls like a semi truck!

 

all the new housings from the fp green to black have the whistle

 

"one of the local guys" sounds like a ratard

 

"one of the local guys" is trying to rip you off.

 

yea thats what i thought just wanted to make sure havent seen many fp reds around here so i didnt have anything to refrence it to thanks all for the quick responses

 

I was just gonna say that

 

^this! lol

Local guy must have never heard a turbo diesel.

 

yea i found out later he been fired from a few shops before moving up here, funny thing is i didnt even search him out he came up to me at the gas station, i told him he was full of it and it sounded normal to me, but figured id check to be sure

 

Same sound as my FP Black

 

I know someone with one and when I asked him if he had the 64 or 80mm cover he said it was the whistlin 80mm. I guess that pretty much says it all.

 

^grill man
