FAQ
Will this turbo resonator block off plate increase turbo or intake sound?Most owners notice a slight increase in turbo whistle and intake sound because the hollow plastic resonator is removed, but it is typically subtle and still very street-friendly. The main benefit is a cleaner look and one less plastic piece that can crack or leak.
Do I need custom tuning or other performance parts to run this plate?
No. The WCF100096 is designed as a direct bolt-on for otherwise stock trucks and does not require any custom tuning. It works great on stock trucks and alongside other bolt-on upgrades like intercooler pipes, downpipes, and turbo kits.
Is this part emissions compliant?
The plate is marketed as an emissions-friendly design that does not remove sensors or core emissions equipment. However, emissions regulations vary by region, especially for on-road use, so you should always verify local and state laws before installation.
Will this help performance or is it mostly cosmetic?
The primary benefits are improved durability over the factory plastic resonator and a cleaner, more professional engine bay appearance. Any airflow change is minor, but removing a resonator cavity can help reduce the chance of leaks or failures at higher boost levels.
Does it work with other Wehrli turbo and intercooler upgrades?
Yes. This resonator block off plate is a natural match for Wehrli LML intercooler piping, downpipes, and turbo kits. If you are planning a full Wehrli charge-air or turbo system, this is a great supporting piece to install at the same time.
