I could add- the D has an updated (modern) compressor wheel design. I put a D on a LD(non-turbo) smoker and it pegged the 15psi manifold press gauge, with very high EGT. I turned down the pump over 2 full turns and it still runs stronger than most. Currently 12psi at 2500rpm/13 at 2600 w/ safe EGT. The whistle may be the turbine blade tips, or vortices coming off them, exceeding the speed of sound.
