Does the 2.7 have any turbo whistle?

Asking for a Duramax owner.

No.. but you can ADD the turbo whistle quite easily.

Ford uses very quiet blow off valves and the intake muffles the turbo sound to the point of barely being audible.

A new intake and a new dump valve (blowoff) will give you a VERY turbo sound and allow you to make that sweet, sweet hiss on command. The good news is all of this can be had for less than a grand, easily.

An exhaust is a nice bonus addition to improving the sound as well but not as necessary. You'll never get the full sound of a Duramax (those turbos are HUGE), but you can give it a nice noise.


Im pretty awesome so I included a little vidya to give you an idea of whats possible.

I vented the front turbo in my 3.5 to atmosphere. Sounds decent enough. I'm sure the 2.7 can do the same.

The turbos should naturally start whistling at about 60,000-65,000 miles when they begin to fail, based on what most owners are seeing when (both) their turbos start to fail juuuuuuuuuust after warranty expires.

Don't be afraid to use high-zinc oil in turbocharged applications.

Ford ecoboost engines do not use "blow-off valves". They use a bypass valve that will recirculate pressurized air back to the intake.

I put a Roush intake on my 3.5 ecoboost and it help the sound but now much else

I've got almost 95k on my Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost. Hopefully not jinxing it, but it's doing great so far.

Where are you getting this information. First hand experience or know a guy who saw it on the internet. I have several in my company and drive a 3.5 EB myself and have never heard nor experienced this.

I thought you had retired from your inciting riots. Maybe you and I just haven’t shared interest lately. Either way, whatever.
