Why do you want it to whistle?
I think that they sound nice when you can here them whistling
is there away to turn the turbo up do you know ?

You can turn up the boost if you wish but eventually it will break your engine.
Mine whistles if I boot it, maybe you just can't hear it in the cab. I have minimal sound proofing.

They do sound nice but be careful turning the boost up, you can do damage.

If you want the sound without damaging your engine, just fit a set of external speakers to your stereo and play a CD of whistle sounds. I prefer the "4-4-2 at speed in a tunnel" myself.

Im assuming you want the turbo whistle. I have a full length straight through pipe and standard tuning etc. and at low to medium revs get a real nice whistle when the turbo spins up and on the way back down. at higher revs under load it just blends in to the engine noise.
tweaking the waste gate might give you a bit more without adding to much extra stress on the engine.
as other have said i wouldn't see any benefit in trying to get it to whistle more just for adudiable affect.
