How is the feeling wit WR is it much stronger than your Stage 1++ setup ? and for the whining noise what type of whining noise is it , is it like T-case whining noise or is it kinda like turbo spooling ?

Did you replace all of the turbo gaskets? If not then how many times have the ones you used been compressed? Check the discharge pipe to make sure that it is properly sealed to the turbo and to make sure that the coupling for your lower i/c pipe is well seated to the discharge pipe. Of course check all of your other i/c pipe connections.

I replaced all the gasket
from manifold to downpipe.
I double checked all pipes
it's tight and they are all bolt in with T-bolts

it makes a loud hissing sound
I have never heard a larger turbo before
so I dont know if it's from the turbo
the stock turbo makes similar sounds but you can barely hear it
the white rabbit is loud hissing sound
I want to find out if it's normal
I did a boost leak check
no leak
so it must be coming from the white rabbit

ok.. well just as a point of refrence. i raced a stage III srt4 a little while ago and i could hear my loud *** RSR exhaust over his turbo... sounded like an industrial strength vacumm cleaner. I wouldnt rule out the possability of a boost leak ( i will be checking for one today myself) but its just a SSSSSHHHH sound then your hearing a louder turbo.. sounds bad *** huh lol?
You should not be worried to drive the car. Just set your boost and watch it carefully. If something is wrong on the turbo this is really all that matters in the end as far as safety goes... just keep your eye on it.
Also... I when i saw kent jordans car they had the stock BOV in place... and they were very fast.
