The point of this is not to gain extra performance! It's just to hear the turbo. Healthy turbos make a whistling noise. Most turbos have silencers of some sort so that they can not be heard. I like to be able to hear my turbo, so that is why I did this modification. It does not get old. I drove my last 300SD for two years and enjoyed every minute of it. It's not deafeningly loud, just a pleasant background noise.
