My truck had "The Loud One" Turbo on it before i put the Powermax on it... i was told by EVERYONE once i put the Powermax on mine it would make it whistle even louder.... well it sure didnt not like my old turbo thats for sure i was highly pissed about it. I loved the whistle of my truck and its gone, if i would have known i would have just went back with the the same one it had on it.

If it wasnt such a pain pulling everything off i would put the old one back on and take a video of both and you could compare them for yourself.. it still has a small whistle but nothing like it did before.. if something happens to my powermax i will not put another back on it i will go with something different.

exactly since the powermax is just slightly larger than stock its sometimes not worth it to people. there also shouldnt have been a difference between the 04.5-07 powermax as all thats different is the mounting bolt. just sent my buddy a text that has on on his 06 and runs a PSD shop in houston.

sell it and get another 03 turbo. if i didnt get my powermax for as cheap as i did then i would be keeping my stocker.

if there wasnt someone thats already been waiting a month to get at my stocker id be willing to send it to ya when the pmax goes on

I have heard similar experiances..not sure way but some people say thier powermax is very loud, and others say it isn't even as loud as stock.

One guy said it has to do with the tune..but I really don't know how or why that would affect it, kinda hard for me to beleive...but i've been wrong before.

Somebody else told me the stock powermax is LOUD, and the "modified" ones that some vendors sell are not that loud, that something they change in them makes it quieter. Again, I have know personal experiance in it, just what I have read on other forums.

It has kinda made me wonder about it too, cause I want it LOUD!! If it's not much louder I may as well save the money and just put a batmowheel on my stock turbo.

Well i took a video and it wont let me send it to my email, the only time it gets loud is right at 2,000-2,200 anything lower or higher you really cant hear it, on my stock one as soon as you put your foot on the pedal you could hear it and it would continue .. this one will not which i know the Powermax has a slower spool up but still i figured it would be better than the stock one...
