Hi,

Firstly thankyou to all the people who've answered my other posts. This forum has been part of owning the car I didn't imagine and some of the topics have inspired me to 'enhance' (or what a mate calls "f#&k with") my Lib.

So now at this part of my life I've come to the point where speed doesn't worry me any more. The suspension's been "f#%ked with" so it handles right. The exhaust and tuning has also been "f#%ked with" so there is a little extra excitement there and its noisy.

As a heavy vehicle driver, I have decided that what I am after is a turbo that sounds like it off a Kenworth with a 650hp Cummins ISX. I am not after speed or torque here because I like my nice OEM box and diffs, and quite frankly I don't care about lag because I know how to drive and if it just blows the boost straight back out into the exhaust, fine. I just purely want the sound (HOWEVER not that horrible "WOBbobobububbll" blowoff valve racket).

What I am after is what should I do, what particular system to recommend, how it should be set up not to blow it to bits and who do I see? I am at both Bass Hill (look out for the noisy blue one on black QLD plates) and also on the Gold Coast.

Don't tell me I should have bought a Landcruiser. I have the best on and off the road.

Add some of these to a CD and put it on repeat.

Replace the airbox, filter and black plastic pipe between the AFM and turbo.

Or put a screamer pipe on it

You are at Bass Hill? You are within 10 minutes of the most qualified man at raiding wallets

Sir, I am a coach driver. I have no idea what you are talking about. Is that a dig at the high crime rate of Chezzo aka The Chez aka Mt Chezzus?

LOL! I think he was referring to Phat GT, who can get you practically any part you desire for your car.

yeah, wot he said.

Silicon intake pipe will give you more whistle. It still won't sound like a truck with 110psi boost...

I thought blow off vale and if your car is too noisy is illegal nowadays? Better try to avoid being seen by cops.

Big ball-bearing turbo + external gate and screamer pipe, silicone intake to some sort of POD filter... Should make all the noises to make your heart smile!!

LOL! It is, Andy. But the fact that the guy wants less-than-legal noise to begin with, I don't think he's too worried about the legalities.

no exhaust should do it i rekon haha

But i too love the sound of a truck turbo spooling up. We fitted a turbo off a Kenworth onto a 4litre ford, sounded horn, lasted 5 minutes
