Hey guys well i came across this product which is called the "Turbo Whistler" It suppose to be a fake bov which makes your car sound like a turbo. Im just wondering if any one has bought or used one of these products before? and if there any good. I was watching some clips on you tube and some sounded alright and some sounded shit.

As im a p plated cant drive turbo, I could put this on my skyline to make it sound like a turbo and to have fun to trick my freinds and the police.

I was thinking of getting one to see if it actually works their only $20 so i might just try it out and see how we go.

Any ways just letting you guys know about this little gadget and tell us what you think about it.

*Puts flame suit on* :)

To be completely honest, I love the sound of a car spooling and a nice BoV. If there was some way I could get it on my car that was legal and sounded decent I'd probably do it.

I mean really, unless you take your car to the track, how often does a daily driver require a turbocharger? If there was a cheap alternative I'd look into it for my daily.

Edit: I should mention only IF my daily was the type of car that came with turbochargers, like my NA Supra. I wouldn't pretend my Excel has one.

Dude police attention is bad enough in a skyline... I'm sure they're going to find the fake turbo whistler very amusing...

lol @ WYTSKY as a joke is funny.. but please, keep it off the Skyline, have some dignity!

oh cumon! as if it would get anywhere near my car!

besides...It needs a small diameter exhaust to use the pressure to blow it.... a 5 inch tip isnt going to do that.... or it will get blown away by the real psi!

still wish i spent it on some good air freshners ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
