with a std vehicle you will hear a slight whistle from about 1800ish rpm, when you modify ie bigger dumppipe and or exhaust, airfilter (aftermarket) and snorkel it will whistle like a happy canary, (not a bad thing) whistle will probably appear earlier ie 1600ish rpm which means it is breathing better, this means the turbo is comming on boost earlier which will mean crisper driving and less turbo lag, which is all totally normal in a turbo diesel, wether it is 1kz or d4d. cheers samoLast edited by samo; 14-08-2011, 04:44 PM.had an 03 gx 120 with some gear now got a 2013 bt 50 GT auto some ARB gear.

Add a 3 inch exhaust and that turbo sound gets louder, all good.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

Give the guy a break. If he has never driven a turbo before it is a noise you can hear that he didn't realise is normal. That is one thing about this forum.... asking questions to get answersOur 6 year old and 3 year old try their hardest to make sure there is no time or money for the other baby

We are assuming that the noise you are having is standard turbo whistle, if you still have concerns then best have it checked just to be sure!2014 D4D 150 GXL Automatic - CHARCOAL

I took your question as serious. There are some embarrassing moments on these forums including people finding (or not finding) secret compartments for sunglasses, head rests hidden in seats, stories of people filling their engines through the dip stick, putting petrol in diesels and vice versa, the first up question done 1,000's of times of question of "what size tyres will fit on my rig, etc etc..
Welcome to one of the best sources of information from a great group of people. Some you may meet and most you will not.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

I think this site is a real positive and as a new chum to 4WDing I enjoy and value the forum. I have recommended it to many Prado drivers on my travels around Aussie.
