Silencer Ring Removal

Your going to need two small flat screwdrivers to pry the snap ring out of the groove. As you see in the top picture one side has a tip that you can pry against.
Once the snap ring is out just tip the silencer ring out.
This is your turbo now without a silencer ring.

Remember removing the silencer ring will not improve performance at all. There is no gain in horse power or torque numbers. This has been tested on a dyno and no improvements have been found from removing the silencer ring.

But you will notice a whistling noise as the turbo spools up... That's it!
