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 ;)

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
