<chuckle> Its a cheap way to make a screamer as I found out by accident a few years ago... I had 3 of the 4 bolts that hold the turbo onto the standard manifold just a bit loose, everything was fine until it hit about 6psi then it screamed like some mad kid that sat of a drawing pin, the amazing thing is, it was quite repeatable and almost addictive Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
