Default Question about turbo whistle

Hey guys i was just wondering, i have a turbine turbo (gtps02) running 270hp at the moment, and i would love for my subi to have more of a turbo whistle. The cold air intake sounds great but i want to hear that turbo!! Would i need a ball bearing turbo for this, perhaps vf34?

Also what turbo would you guys reccomend for more power? Because i might get a new one when i have the upgraded injectors put in and a re-tune (g4 link ecu).

Chuck a few bolts in the intake.

VL's whistle. New turbos dont as much. Better design means less resistance.

One turbo i know that whistles like an idiot is the APS30 or 40. Frikin crazy whistle!

The turbo isn't big enough to do so. Very big turbos tend to do it because of the sheer size of the bearings.
