take out the silencers and put in a K&N...or get one of the air intakes now coming on the market.

The mopar BOV will emit a vent to atmosphere noise...while an intake will emit a "turbo whine" and a whoosh when you let off the throttle.

Want to hear the Turbo spool, you need to go to a Turbo up (unrestricted intake piping) system of some kind. The BTG system is one the AMX1397 system is one also. You need to go Turbo up because of the silencer in the intake tube between the turbocharger and the air filter assy. Do that and there'll be no doubt about turbo spooling. Thats my 2 cents.

Looking to hear the turbo as it spools up - the whirring whine.
Will an intake DO this?
