When the seller says "WHO LEAVE NGATIVE BEFORE CONTACT ME WILL GET THE SAME"; apart from the crap English, surely this just makes the feedback system pointless. He's basically saying tit-for-tat retaliation will occur. Twat.

will you be able to hear it over the thumping bass.

n i thought Hicost had the real thing under his bonnet.... doh


CairB - 17/4/04 at 07:49 PM

Don't worry though. It's only for small cars 1.1 - 2.2cc


gjn200 - 17/4/04 at 09:01 PM

I had a turbo for 4 years, they only whistle when there knackered!


JoelP - 17/4/04 at 09:56 PM

"you will not be able to tell the difference..."

really? we wont notice the absence of any boost, or the unavoidable loss of power due to a blocked exhaust?

whorra crank...

All the cars I have had with turbo's; petrol or diesel; the turbo has whistled!

Surely the extremely high rpm turbo's spin to, they have to make a sound, don't they?

Does that mean I'm Knackered


Jasper - 18/4/04 at 02:39 AM

Got a T5 Volvo which runs perfectly and whistles beautifully!!


thekafer - 18/4/04 at 03:34 AM

I'm knackered. Does that mean I can whistle?


madforfishing - 18/4/04 at 08:20 AM

Jesus, more crap for the 'Halfords gadget boys' round here to buy. Joy.


NS Dev - 18/4/04 at 11:04 AM

They usually whistle more as they get more worn!

What a totally sh1t device, as Joelp says, nice loss of power due to the crappy bung in the exhaust, don't think the SVA tailpipe emmission probe will like it very much. What are the radii on the edges like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I stick my finger in it to see if it stops spinning!!


stephen_gusterson - 18/4/04 at 10:32 PM

Well,

i think they should do a double pack with a stick on supercharger. then you could have a fake superturbocharger powered shopping trolley.

Dad has an Impreza WRX bug-eye (note: not boy racer STI version), and that only starts to whistle over 5000rpm, turbo starts at 3000 roughly. Although mums V70 D5 whistles all the time, but that could just be the CVT autobox.

It's the comments that people leave that crack me up!

"its bad for the engine cuz it make the engine lose alot power"

Errrhh, your blocking off the exhaust, what do you expect.

givemethebighammer - 19/4/04 at 07:15 PM

My old Volks Passat 1.9TDI whistled but you could only hear it with the window open. Wouldn't have said it was a desirable sound though ?


Peteff - 19/4/04 at 11:42 PM

My old escort td whistled cos it couldn't remember the words.


Jasalarms - 20/4/04 at 06:58 AM

They will probably do one to fit scooters soon......

.......imagine that, head down over handle bars, 30mph, sounding like its doing a ton AND WHISTLEING.....

....NICE


greggors84 - 20/4/04 at 01:53 PM

Saw a scooter with blue neons fitted underneath it the other day.
I think was just cursing because he didnt have any washer jets though! Not that it should have stopped him
