    How to make hi pitch chatter?

    Hello all

    Ive had 7 r5 turbos in the past and none of them had the realy hi pithced chirp you hear on rally cars.

    However my new r5 has insane hi pitched chirps Ive had t25s before and my current car has a t25 of some sort.

    What causes this realy lowd hi picthed chirp is it all in the type of turbo?

    The exhaust is just a run of the mill magnex rear exit 4" and the air filter is a green k&n.

    Could it also be the intercooler as its running a fmi, im sure one of my 5s had a fm of some sort in the past?

    I always thought it was to do with the intake side, ie. filter shape, size, intake hose size, length etc?

    Im sure Im showing my inexperience here and going to get slated but is it not just an external waste-gate for the turbo? - Turbos are still a new thing to me

    I still have the T25 unit from my previous car sitting around somewhere. When you change gear with that fitted it sounds like you are punching a budgie.

    Re: How to make hi pitch chatter?

    It was like it when I bought it,ive had 7 or 8r5 turbos and none made a noise like that

    All I can think is maybe turbo as its t25 or fmi
