Just a gee whiz question. For those of you running an ATS turbo housing. How loud is the whistle compared to to stock housing? I also heard the best combo is to keep the stock wheel with the ATS. How about ATS+ Stock wheel+ Aftermarket wastegate. Let me know your opinions. Turbo noise is not an issue, it is a welcome by-product. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Turbo whistle

Sound is like appreciation for art, everyone's different. I think my ATS housing and a stock wheel is a bit loud when using a Tymar system. Add in a WW and I would go crazy! ATS and a stock wheel is about twice the whine as stock.
I went w/ ATS housing, had the stock wheel for a while and the whistle was nice, and no low end lag. Then switched to the WW and got even more whistle, but some low end lag.
In the interim, I now have a new bearing, shaft and wheel in the turbo and that baby sings. Next mod, taking the foil off the intercooler tube... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

I've got the WW/ATS and do not experience any lag /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif My turbo is right there and it runs very quick and strong. In fact, one of my neighbors who was a certified Ford diesel mechanic for years drove it last week and couldn't believe it. It makes his new F-150 with 5.4L seem like a V-6. That was his quote BTW. It is definitely extremely loud with the Tymar open intake though...but I likey /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

I have an ATS housing, stock wheel, Banks Big Head wastegate actuator, and the foil wrap removed. This makes for some great turbo sound... and the wrap removed allowed me to hear it from the engine bay so that once I roll up the pass. side windows, I still get some good sound. I like it very much.
Don't get it just for the sound, though...it makes for a good driveable setup, too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif

This is my experience: At stock, I could use my turbo at a long time part hill at 19 at all. Now that I have experienced the rest of the world, around 19 to 23 is the best that you can expect. I now have added a Tony Wildman 4 pos chip and boy did my X come alive. I kind of figure that my horse power went from 1 too 100 over night. Tony's tunes took me from $10. Just give Tony a call and he will be more than happy to get back with you about performance.
