TR51 Mod

Has anyone done this mod on their big turbo compressor housing? Too ricey? Doesn't seems too difficult that I could do on my own?.

I looked at it before. My recollection is that it is 100% a sound thing... no performance advantage.

Everyone loves turbo spool sounds. If you've got the coin to spare, go for it.

No I am not paying $350 for it. After seeing vids of how it is done, I can make my own.

I never looked into how to do it on my own, but I'm sure it's not too bad. If that's the case... do it and report back. I'm curious.

​​​​​​Finished it a few weeks back. I loved it. It is louder with some new distinctive sounds that I have never heard before except on a Garrett GT35R.. I am going to guess this is the sounds with the anti surge housing..
Because the diameter of a non AS housing is much smaller, I can only make a straight extension and that limited the intensity/pitch of the whistle sound. Regardless it is louder.
