@@noreaga2001 No, you misunderstood me dumb***. The cold side has the inner side before the blades (how some anti-surge housings look like) and then the inner side at/where blade is spinning.
If you had a longer straight section on the intake pipe it would actually make that first note of the flutter hit even harder and sound like all the skyline/supra videos we all love. It's called a "dose pipe" and the youtube channel "keep it reet" has THREE comparison videos for different lengths, bends, diameters, and materials. The ideal dose pipe is 3-4x the required diameter in length, straight, and made of metal (plastic ones don't dose). The next best thing is a long sweep/gentle curve 90-degree bend, same thing with the metal and being the required diameter. Anything over 6x-8x the required diameter loses the long first note and makes chipmunk noises instead. Anything with less than 2x the diameter in length before any bends and less than 1x the diameter in length after any bends loses the dose entirely and sounds more like basic flutter.
I have a 90 degree elbow on it with a large radius an I know what a dose pipe is but it only works well on turbos that dont have anti surge, otherwise it desnt do much, also doesnt do much in terms of spool sound but only makes the flutter a lot louder
@@throttlebuddies6356 I heard a guy with T51r mod AND loud dose (the long first note kind that we all want) and IDK how he did it, but he did. I left a comment but IDK if I'll get a response. Loud whistle + good dose is my dream setup, but if I had to pick, I'd choose dose over the whistle.
@@Drunken_Hamster you need a turbo that doesnt have anti surge as the dose is much louder then. With an anti surge housing you need double the boost pressure to make the same kind of sound approximately if you are not running a bov
@@throttlebuddies6356 Anti-surge is the "high flow" thing, right? The slot or holes that go around the main entrance to the compressor wheel, and the thing that you modify to do the "T51r mod"? Do you think on a turbo with an anti-surge housing you can just weld the slot shut and that'll be good enough?
@@Drunken_Hamster exactly. yes, you could, BUT aluminium gets distorted very easily by heat so might not be the best idea, tho some turbos have non-high flow options available. With a lathe you could also create an insert.
no idea, was to cheap to do the t51r mod but id guess itd just get a bit louder since they are caused by the same effect, which is air rushing over a sharp edge and therefore creating a turbulence, just like a whistle.

@@miatakhalifa yep same size the size of the hole does not really matter it just shouldnt be WAYY too big like an inch would probably be a bit too much
id say the difference wouldnt be huge probably as it is the air rushing past a sharp edge that creates that sound. maybe a little more pronounced, although with a slot depending on the length i would be careful because the wider it is, the more of the smooth flow you are going to disturb
Would this theory still work if the gap between the bolt hole and the bolt itself was well over 10 - 20 mm? lets say more along the lines of 50mm? The end is still plugged but just with a much larger gap.
works with pretty much any turbo haha. its just physics i guess. i mean a "real" t51r mod does nothing else than create turbulence and therefore a whistle sound, this is just the ghetto way haha

I have a hole on the exit of the turbo compressor housing for a boost sensor. Does that work to or does it has to be in the compressor housing and not in the exit. Becouse al the air comes by that hole to.
One comment you mentioned a 3-5mm drill bit and another comment you mentioned a 6-8mm drill bit. Would a 7mm hole make a “deeper” or “louder” whistle than a 5mm hole? And to confirm 1-2cm deep?
@@finedeluxe1222 i havent tried anything bigger and wouldnt really recommend it as to big can disrupt the aiflow too much and can create a. Loss in power
You can do a legit t51r mod if your compressor housing has some meat around the compressor wheel. Used a hole saw and cut down a few inches to reach the wheel then used a dremel wheel on the inside to cut slits and connect the two chambers.
There need to be edges on the hole so that there is air turbulence like in a whistle. One hole is sufficient. But a depth of 3-5 mm or so would be enough but again there needs to be an edge a dimple, dent or divet does not work the edge needs to be ~90 degrees and sharp to create turbulence and sound

Is it bad if you just completely remove the bolt on the pulsar turbo

@@throttlebuddies6356 it sounds alot better with it not there when i put it back in takes alot of the noise away

yeah, but its a lot more expensive to do
most turbos have the possibility of tetting a housing with anti surge, that can also be modded.
My borg warner does not have a hole drilled in it from factory. Is there still a way to do this?
@@305pyroheads as i explained in the video you can drill an indent or rather a small hole about 1 cm deep that will create the same sound
@ ahh ok, is there a specific place to drill them
@305pyroheads as it is explained in the video it needs to be somewhere where the fins of the compressor wheel will pass by directly
did not work drilles 3 small dents into a spare gt style turbo housing I had and put it no with no difference in sound

Doesn’t matter on the turbo size would it work on a stock Srt4 turbo
In theory would work on any turbo
So on the Pulsar unit which has a speed sensor, no drilling is needed? Yout just put a spacer on there? How thick a spacer?
Doesnt really matter i think 10mm or something should even be sufficient.
