Thanks very much. What is your guess as to percentage louder? Does the added turbo whistle overpower the deeper tones?

PS Kudos to you installing yourself, being not technically skilled I marvel at what people do themselves on here.

Thanks! I’d say the videos on the Soul website are close to the actual sound. Difficult to give a percentage. The turbo whistling noise is something you only really hear when the driver window is rolled down. I installed a BMC air filter this past weekend so now have other noises going on :-)

Looking forward to making this project happen in the near future J, thanks for the continued interest!

Thanks for chiming in with your feedback Sarawnty, it is much appreciated and in line with what we've experienced as well

Best regards,

My project? Getting this fat-*** driver in shape for post-Covid driving season (when we can actually go places, and not just drive in circles).

Got your PM. Thank you. Hey, based on my picture, do you know how to do this little project? Where does the grease go? Thanks. It was never clear from this old video how/where he did it. Can anyone chime in.:

Here is one of my projects, LEGO GT3RS which I picked up a couple years ago, but now finally have some time to put it together. I haven't done a LEGO set in a very large number of years and this has been a blast to put together!

Guess it would not hurt to put grease in both the nut area and the edges?
