I spent 2 hours today trying to get the silencer ring out of the turbo. NO LUCK. . . . . Is there an easy way to do this?

 

2 screwdrivers is the easiest. Work one under the snap ring, then follow with the other, keep going until the ring pops out.

 

No luck [:@] I can't even get the thing to budge.

 

what is this silencer ring? Also what does it do? Iv never heard of it. Also where is it located on the turbo?

this is the silencer ring



if you look at the snap ring it has beveled edges, get a screw driver under the beveled edge and pry it out. then the silver doughnut thing will fall out.

there are no performance gains or losses, it just makes the turbo louder

 

If you take off your intake, it's a "ring" or cone that you will see around the fan on the turbo. It's held in by a C ring that on my truck seems to be next to impossible to remove. It basically directs the air into the fan, but also quiets down the whistling sound of the turbo. From what I understand, Cummins sends the enging to Chrysler without the ring and then Chrysler puts it on to quiet the trucks. No performance gain or anything, just more noise.

 

i got my ring out. wow that sounds good!! i love it. now do i have to put the clip back in to hold anything in place?

 

nope. . .I have mine under the seat for reasons that are beyond me

now open up that intake and listen to that bad boy realy scream, one of these days I'm gunna record what mine sounds like under good boost
