I just ran the SDL up and down the street with the crossover pipe off. It ran fine except for sounding like my uncle's Volvo Penta sterndrive with a background boost whistle.

FWIW the boost whistle is audible around 1700 rpm, maybe lower. The boost gauge reads 5psi at 2500 rpm and that's about when it feels like the turbo's doing something. Think the ALDA needs a tweak?
