Default New k04 owner with a question....

My ko4s seem to whistle alot louder than my k03's did and i had them both with dp's. Its a very, very high pitched sound. Is this normal for new turbos? Thanks for the help.

Default did you change anything else?

like dp's or exhaust? you'll hear the K04's more than the K03's though, but the "dentist drill" sound isnt good

Default went stg 2+ up to full stg 3

wish i had heard the dentist drill sound before so i could tell. Turbos only have 60 miles on them, so i don't think its my fault.

Default My k04's are very quiet. no noticeable whining at all <more>

My 2nd set of K03's whined from the beginning-- clearly louder than the stock ones ever did-- and they only lasted 9 months. I was very good to them, warm up, cool down, etc...

With my experience, I would be worried that you were hearing anything "alot" louder.

My K04s are quiet except on testpipes. Then they are pretty loud.
